The Durham Art Parade is a free event taking place Saturday, June 10, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will start and end at the Scrap Exchange parking lot at The Shoppes at Lakewood, 2050 Chapel Hill Road, Durham, NC. The route is 1.7 miles long.
Anyone can participate in the parade, but please register.
The parade procession welcomes:
