The Concert Truck is rolling into Durham for a FREE concert on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., thanks to The Carolina Theatre of Durham !!!

The Concert Truck is a 16-foot mobile concert hall that’s been traveling around the country hosting concerts in places like schools, farmers’ markets, museums and military bases. At its core is a standard 16-foot box truck, brilliantly transformed into a fully equipped, mobile concert hall, complete with professional sound, lighting, and a grand piano.

This event is presented in partnership with Carolina Theatre of Durham.

Although this concert is free to attend, it’s a fundraiser for Durham Central Park, and donations are appreciated! Learn more by checking out the Parties for the Park page in our linktree or go to Durhamcentralpark.org/parties

Parties for the Park is a series of dinners, workshops, rooftop parties, and game nights that make Durham Central Park possible! This season of community-led fundraisers is vital to the everyday work that keeps the park maintained, programmed with free events year-round, and welcoming to everyone. We cherish this work - safeguarding this greenspace for you and everyone you know is so important! If you want to keep the park thriving attend a Party for the Park. Tickets are in the bio or at Durhamcentralpark.org/parties

Parties for the Park raises operational funds for us to bring you amazing park events, beautify the park, and keep Durham Central Park a vibrant place in Durham where everyone is welcome! We are able to do this work thanks to the many hosts who together, through ticketed dinners, themed parties, many bowls of Brunswick stew, and workshops have raised over a million dollars for the park!

You can host a party too! Tell us what you think would be a fun Party for the Park, and we will help you make it happen. Info link in bio or head to partiesforthepark.org
