Whether you’re seeking the Triangle’s best tacos or where to go hiking, these local accounts can unlock all that Durham has to offer.

In the immortal words of *NSYNC, it’s gonna be MAY! It’s the time of year when the pollen falls back and makes way for warmer, yet bearable temps. So give your gardening a rest and gear up for a frenzy of festivals, merry Mother’s Day moments, bunches of baseball, and over a dozen other ah-MAY-zing activities.

Spring is officially springing in the Bull City, which means patio weather is upon us. One of the best things about Durham is how dog friendly it is. Hannah Mingus, aka @lifewithhanny and dog mom to @bullcitybichon, shares her top five dog friendly patios in Durham

Don’t let fear of The Pollening hold you back. April not only brings us festivals such as NC Science Fest and Full Frame Festival, but several chances to stock up on Spring plants, plus tons of other ways to engage with our city and its beautiful residents.

March is a particularly hopeful month as it marks the turning point from winter to spring, where people start emerging from cold weather hibernation. Fortunately, Durham has something for everyone to celebrate this beginning of the Spring season, from St. Patrick’s Day events to Easter egg hunts and a variety of other festive occasions!

There are A LOT of events to choose from this month, whether you’re into markets, arts and crafts, running, hiking, food, or history. A number of organizations took a break in January after a hectic holiday season, but they are back in action this coming month!

The end of 2023 was chock full of events - January less so with businesses and organizations taking the time to rest and recharge to get ready for the remainder of the year. I hope you, dear readers, take the time to do the same. Remember that rest is extremely important! Nevertheless, if you do have the energy and the time, there are always things happening in the Bull City.

December is one of my favorite months, not just because of the holidays and the time I am able to spend with my family . It is time for planning the garden! I know that there are others out there who have some Spring planting goals. This is for you.

We’re in the thick of the holiday season so there are events seemingly happening ALL THE TIME through the month of December.

Want to give back and support local organizations this season?

Whether you are passionate about animals, health, food security, or just general community development, there is an organization out there whose mission may resonate with you.

One aspect of our City we can all be thankful for is how plentiful the activities and community events are that bring us together and enrich our lives. Durham and the surrounding Triangle area are lush with things to do for all age groups, for all families, and November is no exception.
