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.
Like Downtown Durham itself, the Durham Blues and Brews Festival has its own unique vibe.
