Third Friday
Third Friday Durham Art Walk & Gallery Crawl
Happening This
Third Friday
Join DDI at CCB Plaza on July 18 from 6-9 p.m. for Third Friday.
We’ll have puppets, passports, popsicles (or another frozen treat), face painting, DJ tunes and more.Â
Stop by our purple tent or any of our partner galleries to pick up your very own Third Friday Passport, designed and created by Hyper Local Durham.Â
Visit galleries around town, collect stamps and return your completed passport to our purple tent any Third Friday and we’ll give you a special prize!Â
We will also have the beloved Jeghetto – puppeteer and artist – doing shows every half hour.Â
Stop by, say hi, hang a bit at the plaza, then stroll around town and check out all of the galleries and businesses that celebrate Third Friday.Â
The Bull Ride will be out taking people from Brightleaf Square, through downtown, to the Golden Belt campus.Â
