About the Durham Blues & Brews Festival

Night view of festival

The Durham Blues and Brews Festival is the main fund raising effort of the Exchange Club of Greater Durham, a service-oriented civic club. In 2015 we set out to create a unique music festival experience that served only NC craft beer with proceeds benefiting our communities. And, we’ve succeeded! After a COVID-19-induced break, we came back. The 2024 rally was another success, bringing the total for the first 8 years of contributions to non-profit organizations in the Durham area, across the nation, and abroad to well over $200,000. We’re not stopping here. There is so much need in our community.

The 2024 Festival is in the books, so mark your calendar for the same weekend in 2025!
Like Downtown Durham itself, the Durham Blues and Brews Festival has its own unique vibe.
