FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Centerfest still located in Downtown Durham?
Yes! Just north of the 5 Points area, the festival will take place across the street from Durham Central Park on Foster St. You can pay a $2 fee to park in the large parking decks on Morgan St., or find some parking lots closer to the site that are free and open to the public!

How much does it cost?
While we strive to keep CenterFest a free event, Durham Arts Council incurs substantial expenses in presenting this annual street festival for the community. For this reason we ask that those who can afford to do so make a $4 per person donation ($12 for a family of 4 or more) as you enter the festival. We appreciate your support in making CenterFest happen.

Can I bring my dog, cat, ferret, etc?
While we understand that your pet may be very well behaved, the festival presents a variety of smells, sounds and motion that may startle an animal and provoke a reaction. We are sorry, but we no longer allow pets at CenterFest. Exceptions are made only for guide dogs in service to individuals with special needs.

Is this held in a park?
CenterFest takes place on the streets in the Durham Central Park District. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Where is the closest ATM machine?
The closest ATM machine to the festival site is located one block away at the Marriott Civic Center. Stop at the main information booth for walking directions to this or other nearby ATM's.

Will I be able to maneuver in a wheelchair?
The festival site is completely accessible. If you have other special needs, please contact the Durham Arts Council in advance of the festival to ensure your needs will be met.

Are there kids' activities at CenterFest?
We have an array of activities to keep the little ones happy. There's more about this on the Kids section.

What evening activities are scheduled?
CenterFest is a daytime festival and ends at 6:00 p.m. both days. There are no CenterFest events scheduled in the evenings.
