Sweet Sounds of <strong>Summer</strong><br />
<strong>Summer</strong> is outdoor concert season in <strong>Durham</strong> – a time when all you need to enjoy great live<br />
music is a blanket or a couple of lawn chairs. As usual, <strong>Durham</strong> has something for everyone,<br />
and music lovers can find pop, rock, soul, jazz, classical, and more.<br />
Free outdoor concert series like Center Stage<br />
at American Tobacco, the Find Your Cool<br />
<strong>Summer</strong> Concert Series, and the Rock the<br />
Park Music and Movie Series are exceptionally<br />
popular draws for <strong>Durham</strong> residents and visitors<br />
alike. Popular local and regional bands play<br />
while children dance and dogs lead their owners<br />
to the smells of local food trucks. Relax as the<br />
sun dips below the horizon and the moon<br />
illuminates the sky to the tunes of rock, soul,<br />
jazz, blues, and more.<br />
The Ciompi Quartet <strong>Summer</strong> Series brings joy<br />
to classical music lovers. While the music isn’t<br />
outdoors, visitors are only steps away from<br />
the exquisite 55-acre public gardens. Duke<br />
Performances’ Music in the Gardens hosts<br />
official durham visitor & RELOCATION guide<br />
various artists and genres on the lawn behind<br />
the Sarah P. Duke Gardens’ <strong>Visitor</strong> Center.<br />
Catching a live show has become a standard<br />
practice at <strong>Durham</strong>’s local shopping centers. The<br />
Brightleaf Square Concert Series is a popular<br />
free outdoor music series, drawing curious<br />
onlookers, shoppers, and music lovers into the<br />
brick-lined district. The Streets at Southpoint’s<br />
Music on Main music series is also free, outdoor,<br />
and near hundreds of places to shop, eat, and be<br />
entertained.<br />
