Durham NC Culture

The citizens of Durham enjoy a robust and thriving arts and cultural scene. Regular events include music festivals, symphony concerts, art exhibitions and cultural expositions.

The heart of Durham's cultural activity takes place in the Carolina Theater, a national landmark which showcases live performances and films, primarily independent releases.

Operated by a nonprofit organization, the Carolina Theatre is the host of the North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.

The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival caters to documentary film makers all over the world. In addition, the American Dance Festival, a six-week series of dance performances, is held each summer at Duke University.

The Durham Association for Downtown Arts (DADA) is a non-profit arts organization located in downtown Durham. Founded in 1998 and incorporated in 2000, the organization is committed to the development, presentation and financial sponsorship of original art and performance in Durham.

DADA not only supports local artists working in a diversity of artistic media, the organization also helps local residents gain access to these artists by providing free or low-cost venue admission.

Durham's impressive array of culinary offerings are primarily located in the Ninth Street, Brightleaf, and University Drive areas.

An influx of new restaurants can also be found in and around the downtown area, including several in the American Tobacco District.
