The Troika Music Festival
In 2002, the Durham Association for Downtown Arts, Inc. (DADA), having
successfully hosted a showcase series since 2001, decided to organize
the first Durham Music Festival, a one-day event featuring musicians
and bands from Durham, North Carolina. The event was a success, so
DADA held the following year's festival over the course of three
nights at multiple venues in downtown Durham. In 2004, festival
organizers invited independent bands from all over the Triangle and
beyond. Plus, several well respected independent record labels
participated by showcasing some of their bands and themselves.

In 2005, organizers made an effort for the festival to better serve
and represent the whole Triangle area. During the festival's five day
span, there were events at locations in Durham, Chapel Hill, and
Raleigh. Additionally, organizers changed the name to Troika Music
Festival, so that, although the bulk of the events were still in
Durham, the whole area could celebrate its vibrant music scene
together.

In subsequent years, organizers resumed efforts to concentrate the
activity in the burgeoning, culturally rich downtown area of Durham,
consistently featuring the area's brightest musical acts as well as
critically acclaimed acts visiting from elsewhere.
