Dreams. Unity. Royalty. Achievement. Generational Wealth.

Live performances • Hands-on workshops • Free haircuts • Games • Shopping Black-owned brands • Food & drinks • Dancing • Art studio + crafts • Free merch for the first 50 guests

DURAG is back for its second year — bigger, bolder, and built with intention. This immersive celebration of Black culture, creativity, and entrepreneurship brings together performances, workshops, free services, interactive art, and community impact all in one space.

A portion of ticket sales will directly support Never Starving Artists, an organization dedicated to providing resources, opportunities, and support for artists to thrive creatively and sustainably. Your attendance helps invest in artistic growth, creative freedom, and long-term success for emerging talent.

GA includes:

• Entry to DURAG 2026
• Access to all performances & workshops
• Free haircuts (first-come basis)
• Shopping with Black-owned vendors
• Chance to receive free merch (first 50 guests)

DURAG isn’t just an event — it’s a platform. Designed to uplift, educate, and celebrate, DURAG centers Black-owned businesses, creatives, and community leaders through curated experiences that are both fun and meaningful.

Throughout the night, guests will move freely between live performances, interactive workshops, shopping experiences, and creative stations. Whether you’re getting a fresh cut, learning from a speaker, dancing with friends, or creating something with your hands, every part of DURAG is intentional.

Come for the culture. Stay for the connection. Leave inspired.
