Saturday, September 12, you’re invited to join the Eno River Association for their Festival for the Eno 60th Anniversary Celebration! This year’s event is taking a different form from the traditional Eno Fest: it’ll be at the Carolina Theatre in downtown Durham, beginning from 1-5 p.m. with a free community celebration before continuing inside the theater for a ticketed evening show that features Jake Xerxes Fussell, Tre. Charles, Pura Fé, and more. It’s all to support the work of the Eno River Association, which has been working to preserve the Eno River and the land around it for the last six decades.

Aaron welcomes H.C. McEntire – an acclaimed musician who’s also the event & store manager for the Eno River Association – to discuss this year’s event.

Conversation presented by the Eno River Association. Visit EnoRiver.org for more information about Saturday’s festival – including details about a silent auction, which is ongoing now and open to everyone.
