Many of the performers at the festival are nationally-recognized musicians: past performers at the festival have included Dar Williams and The Nields.
Many of the festival's attendees can also enjoy splashing, sunning or paddling in the Eno River , browsing for handmade gifts sold by local craft artists, or learning more about sustainable living from the festival's "Sustainable Home and Garden Expo".
The Festival for the Eno is a very family-friendly event: kids get free admission, no alcohol is allowed in the park, and most of the festival goers (68% of them, according to a 2007 survey) attend the festival with their families.
