Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

At the Eno River State park in Durham, fireworks aren't the only thing to look forward too around the 4th of July. The Festival for the Eno, sponsored by the Eno River Association, happens there and is anchored by July 4th. This year marks the 30th anniversary. An anticipated 30,000 people are expected to attend and all proceeds go to protect, purchase and preserve land along the Eno River.

The Festival is a three day event with arts, crafts, music, shops, dancers, etc. You can buy a single day pass or an entire event pass, volunteers are free (keep that in mind for next year). Parking is free. Most of their trash is recycled or composted, making their event 90% trash free.

The entrance fee covers it all. There are three different stages for performers. Here's the schedule of musicians for this year. There's typically a lot of bluegrass, folk, blues and soul music. Nerissa and Katryna Nields are performing twice this year. WOOHOO!! There are also cloggers and belly dancers.

If you're in the area this weekend, you should come out. It's a fun time for a good cause. Don't forget your sunblock!
