As extended dry conditions continue to affect North Carolina, Durham will begin its Stage 2 Water Shortage Response Monday, June 15, 2026. Here's what to expect as you plan your visit to Durham.
Thank you for helping conserve water during your visit to protect the supply we have, and your patience with small businesses as they are adjusting service during this time.
Durham named a top place for women to launch and grow their business by Coworking Cafe. Women own 28% of all businesses in the Bull City โ the highest share among mid-sized U.S. markets: durh.am/4dhwArS
Pro softball season is here! The Carolina Blaze take the field for the first time in Durham this week at Smith Family Stadium on Duke's East Campus. Limited tickets still available: durh.am/4fy3FT7
Before rainbow crosswalks, Durham was marching for justice. In 1981 in response to the murder of Ronald Antonevitch, Durham held its first gay pride march โ the first public demonstration for gay civil rights in the state. Photos from Museum of Durham History's newest exhibit.
