Phoenix Fest

Phoenix Fest is back on Saturday October 5, 2024 for its 23rd year as Durham NC’s funkiest street music festival to celebrate the cultural legacy of Durham NC’s historic Hayti community and to deliver a fun-filled day of family-friendly entertainment for thousands on historic Fayetteville Street.

Fayetteville Street will be into a bustling bazaar with eye-teasing vendor displays and lip-smacking food followed by all-day music on center stage until 6 pm.

You’re invited to share in this age-old cultural tradition as we commemorate the hard work, vision and enduring spirit of the elders who founded Hayti over 100 years ago. Phoenix Fest is fun, it’s free and it’s for the whole family.
