What began on July 10, 2015, as a bold experiment in local hospitality has grown into something bigger: a community hub and a downtown mainstay. This August, The Durham celebrates ten years of shared meals, rooftop views, and unforgettable moments — from goat yoga to Grammy-nominated jazz. Join us on Friday, August 8, for a celebration to remember.
