   When it’s fall, it’s time for Phoenix Fest. The 8th annual Phoenix Fest will be held Saturday, October 3, 2009 on historic Fayetteville Street in Durham, North Carolina. Phoenix Fest is an annual cultural celebration of the business and cultural legacy of Durham’s Hayti community, one of North Carolina’s oldest African American communities.

    In celebrating Hayti's legacy, the 8th annual Phoenix Fest will again live up to its reputation as Durham's funkiest street music festival when Fayetteville Street is blocked off and transformed into a bustling bazaar with an early morning parade, all-day music, delicious food and dazzling vendor displays that will deliver a fun-filled day for thousands of festival goers. 

 

     The festival has grown over the past seven years and our deadline has been moved to an earlier time this year to enable better planning for the event. All entries, forms and fees should be submitted by August 31, 2009 if at all possible. Please let us know if you have special circumstances and we will work with you to facilitate your participation.

    The all-day festival features some of the best musical talent from North Carolina and the southeast, with over 20 performers entertaining festival goers with non-stop reggae, gospel, R&B, blues, jazz and hip-hop. Food and merchandise vendors will offer lip-smacking delicacies and eye-pleasing vending displays to delight festival goers of all ages -- all taking place on historic Fayetteville Street under the warm Carolina sun. Bring your lawn chairs and umbrellas and stay the whole day.
