Haw River Ballroom is a beautiful riverside music venue set in the former Dye House in historic Saxapahaw. With highly engineered acoustics, and state of the art sound and lighting systems, three floors, a riverside deck and courtyard, gorgeous architectural detail, vintage furnishings, solar and geothermal power, climate control, and an idyllic rural river setting just minutes from Chapel Hill—there is just no other place quite like it.

We opened on May 27, 2011 after years of deconstruction and renovations, Haw River Ballroom has become one of North Carolina’s destination venues for national and international artists, events, conferences, weddings and more.

Shows have included Big Thief, St. Vincent, Iron & Wine, Tank and the Bangas, Sharon Van Etten, Sufjan Stevens, Sylvan Esso, Phantogram, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, Jeff Tweedy, Ben Gibbard, Jason Isbell, Tallest Man on Earth, The Mountain Goats, Mountain Man, Drive by Truckers, Angel Olsen, War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Son Volt, Margo Price, Ibeyi, Beach House, and Shovels and Rope among many others.
