This event is a fundraiser benefiting:
Ripe for Revival is a nonprofit that bridges the gap between farm excess and food access. Their pay-what-you-can Mobile Market Program brings affordable, fresh produce and other essentials to food-insecure communities across central and eastern NC. In addition to food access, they provide health and nutrition education, hands-on learning, and inclusive shopping experiences for all. Past events have supported the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association, The Food Shuttle, and Band Together.
The nonprofit arm of Ripe Revival was started in 2021 as an extension of the business mission to use the company’s vast network of farmer and food industry relationships to address the many issues that lie in the gap between farm excess and food access and mobilize the community to create lasting change. The nonprofit operates a fleet of pay-what-you-can mobile markets, including five buses and two trailers. The mobile markets sell local produce, meat and dairy to the public, including many families experiencing food insecurity, at up to 18 sites per week in Beaufort, Edgecombe, Granville, Halifax, Lenoir, Nash, Pitt, Sampson and Wake counties.

Video Screens
Currently, this event has not approved using our video screens. Please feel free to check back closer to the event for updates. If approved, we will post notice here.
For many concert, comedy, and special events at DPAC, we offer added views of the stage with two big screens (size: 16’ x 9’) hung to the sides of the stage or above the stage. These big screens can add to the visual experience of our concert, comedy, and special events and give guests seated farther from the stage what we like to call “a tenth row view”. Approval to use these screens always rests with the visiting show and about half of all concert and comedy events do use these screens.
