Festival for the Eno
The Festival for the Eno is presented by the Eno River Association. Since July 4, 1980 when buses rolled in for the first Festival, affectionate crowds have filled the Eno's Meadow and the Grove for performances by Doc Watson, Etta Baker, the Badgett Sisters, and many more. Today the annual event features over 100 performers on five stages.
All proceeds from the Festival for the Eno go to preserve and protect lands in the Eno River basin.
