Good Music is Happening in Durham
DPR Music Series at the CCB Plaza
See the CCB Plaza Music Series schedule video
With the completion of the downtown streetscape, DPR is introducing a new venue for special events in 2008. The CCB Plaza is a centrally located facility, making it an ideal location for after work and weekend events. Regular programming at this facility will invite audiences to stay in town after work and begin their weekends in downtown Durham. These new events will target adult audiences seeking early evening entertainment after work or to kick off weekend evenings.
CCB Plaza is located at the corner of Corcoran and Parrish Streets in downtown Durham – home of MAJOR, the big bronze bull.
