CenterFest is a competitive, juried festival attracting high-quality fine art and fine crafts.  In its 40th year, CenterFest is the longest running outdoor juried arts festival in North Carolina. Located in Durham's lively downtown district, the event is a favorite among visual artists, performing artists and visitors. 

 

Durham's recent Creative Vitality Index score indicates Durham has grown to be a top creative community in the U.S. CenterFest 2014 will leverage the extraordinary assets of the downtown district, including culinary arts components, exciting entertainment and historic districts, and a cutting edge creative community, to highlight the high quality of the visual artists and the sophistication of the creative class demographic. The festival will feature 65 performing acts and locally sourced food vendors.  In 2013 Durham won the title of "Tastiest Town in the South" by Southern Living Magazine and the downtown district features many of the restaurants that helped earn that title.
