NColor Heritage Tours Announces Inaugural Durham NColor Festival as Part of Statewide NColor Festival Tour
On March 28, we’re proud to launch Durham NColor Festival — the first stop of WilmingtoNColor’s statewide NColor Project, an ambitious effort to take Black storytelling across North Carolina to the next level.
This festival is an expansion of WilmingtoNColor and brings history, culture, and community together in one immersive experience. Attendees will:
• Learn about the 1898 government overthrow in Wilmington, NC
• Explore Durham’s Black Wall Street and the Bull City’s historic Black neighborhoods
• Engage with art, games, music, and cultural activations that celebrate Black excellence across the state
🎟️ Passes are pay-what-you-can to ensure accessibility for all.
🤝 We’re actively welcoming vendors, partners, supporters, and sponsors to be part of this movement.
This isn’t just an event — it’s a blueprint for how Black history, culture, and storytelling can live, travel, and thrive across North Carolina.

“This festival is about joy, truth, and community,” said WilmingtoNColor Heritage Tours Founder Cedric Harrison. “We believe history should be experienced, not just read about. NColor Festivals allow families to celebrate their city’s culture while also learning how the events of 1898 in Wilmington still shape North Carolina — and America — today.”
The Durham event follows WilmingtoNColor’s Black History Month Carnival in Wilmington on February 21, and is part of a broader NColor Festival Tour that will travel across North Carolina in 2026. A Charlotte NColor Festival is currently in the planning stages, with the official date to be announced soon. WilmingtoNColor is also looking for other cities that would like to partner to have a NColor experience in their city.
NColor Heritage tours is known for WilmingtoNColor Heritage Tours its immersive, multimedia “Time Machine”-style experiences that combine storytelling, historic sites, and present-day cultural connections. Through the NColor Festival Tour, the organization aims to expand its impact beyond tours and create large-scale community spaces where education, celebration, and reflection can exist together.
