In 1966, the Eno River Association was formed by a small citizen-led resistance effort to confront the city of Durham’s plan to dam the Eno River and create a water supply reservoir. Public outreach and organized lobbying for environmental protections accompanied political action to put the Eno in the public eye. Through fundraising and land acquisition, the Eno River Association helped form the first boundaries of Eno River State Park as well as five other riverfront parks in Durham and Orange counties. Six decades later, the Eno River Association continues to protect the robust conservation corridor directly adjacent to the river and its major tributaries. And as development pressure moves deeper into the Eno watershed, ERA continues to expand a protection footprint while also honoring the cultural and historical threads fundamental to our region’s woven narrative as a whole. Join the ERA as they celebrate sixty years of informed advocacy and mindful stewardship and commit to evolving in solidarity alongside the diverse needs of the community to ensure a vibrant, accessible, nature-focused future for all. VIP Tickets in the Legacy Boxes and Pit will include a limited edition 60th Anniversary silkscreen concert poster designed by Gabriel Eng-Goetz, signed by the artist and featured performers.
