Five reasons to come to the Taste of Durham
Five reasons to come to the Taste of Durham
Just count on your five senses
DURHAM, NC -- On May 26, The Community Chest, Inc. nonprofit produces the third Taste of Durham Festival in a new larger location with ambiance, accessibility, and ample space at the Imperial Center. The festival is outdoors surrounding Winchester Place. The one-day event, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., is a buffet for the senses, with choice dishes from restaurants, an array of eclectic bands and musicians, dancers, chef demonstrations, and special activities such an ice sculpture contest, Mardi Gras Parade, and so much more!
You can taste it.
The menu reflects Durham’s bustling culinary scene and growing internationalism. Established restaurants, new eateries, and catering businesses will serve up treats that defy conventional notions of festival food.
You can hear it. 17 Bands Plus 12 Entertainment Performances
TCC continues in their tradition to bring quality national, regional, and local performers and other international and cultural music genres and performers. Four designated stages are welcoming platforms to help support talented and diverse artists and musicians from all walks of the “world.”
You can see it.
Performances, artisans, and festival vendors will display and showcase their talent throughout the day. Watch the streets come alive with the Mardi Gras Parade with fanciful girls handing out beads, various other opportunities for interaction, pods of roving musicians, people dressed in costumes, giant fantastical creatures and puppets, and the imagination and willingness of other participants.
You can smell it.
Smell the bouquet of the wine International Wine Tasting Pavilion. More than 60 wines from around the globe will be available to sample at the wine pavilion.
You can touch it.
Ping Fu Presentation of Taiwan and Chinese Culture will teach about Chinese culture in an interactive way like making dumplings with Playdough, writing Chinese Characters, and cutting paper. Get your hands into Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University Interactive activities to bring out the artist in you. The Scrap Exchange will offer international hands-on creative arts experience at Taste of Durham. Come and make your own flag from colorful parachute fabrics, hats from around the world, musical instruments, or masks and hats for the Mardi Gras Procession, all with reusable materials. We will be offering these free hands-on art experiences throughout the day.
Experience it for yourself and revive all your senses.
