The City of Graham’s division of Downtown Development and Recreation & Parks strives to provide the community with diverse selection of events and entertainment choices. From musical entertainment to unique street festivals, the City is proud to host events May – December each year.
Graham Area Business Association, Alamance Arts, Court Square Development Group and downtown business owners host annual events complementing the City’s lineup of events.
Together all partners are working towards a calendar full of one of a kind events centered around court square and the complementary streets. We want our downtown to be a sought out destination for entertainment both large and small. Got an idea? We would love to hear about it, mfaucette@cityofgraham.com
