Festival Details and Directions:

Come enjoy a Celebration of the Haw River with music, art, puppets, environmental displays and activities. You can go down to Bynum Beach and try some river monitoring and kids can take a short guided canoe ride on the river. Kids can also paint their very own critter cut-out made by Bynum’s own Clyde Jones. A fabulous Old Town canoe will be raffled and there’s a silent art auction that includes works by Clyde Jones. There’s the ‘river of chalk” art project happening on the bridge, and much to learn about the river, Jordan Lake and other environmental issues in our watershed. The great cooks at the Ruritan Club will have tasty food for sale all day.

Proceeds from the Haw River Festival help fund our work throughout the year to protect the Haw River and Jordan Lake. We are requesting a $5 donation for adults and $3 for kids under 14 years old (babies are free).
