Come on out TODAY to pick up some groceries, coffee, and pastries, and enjoy this sunny day at Durham Central Park!

Upcoming Event

Raise Our Voices Together

Join us this Saturday, October 21st from 10:00-11:00am for a Community Circle Sing on the lawn at Durham Central Park!

Let’s Resonate the Sound of Togetherness

Humans have gathered in song for thousands of years: to celebrate, to memorialize, to grieve and to connect. Everyone was a part of the musical landscape, in our ancestry. Everyone contributed and was a valuable addition, regardless of what we now call “talent” or “pleasingness” of sound. There is no exclusivity to singing and using your voice in community here. This is a free, open-hearted, improvisational, supportive, safe opportunity to come together, raise our voices, dissolve barriers and have a unique experience. Facilitated by Karen Novy, Durham Vocal Guide and Teaching Artist

Free & open to the public,

All voices welcome

No experience required
