SmashFest
Welcome to SmashFest, Durham's biggest and smashi-est celebration of creative reuse.
Once each year, we get together to celebrate the thrill of giving broken things a spectacular sendoff. It's one of Durham's happiest places to safely break things—and fun for all ages!
WHEN: Friday, November 27, 3:00 to 7:00pm
WHERE: The Scrap Exchange, 2050 Chapel Hill Road, Durham
HOW: Buy tickets ($1 apiece), select some smashables, then smash them!
WHAT ARE SMASHABLES?
Smashables are once-loved items donated to the Scrap Thrift Store that we are unable to sell because they are chipped or damaged. Smashables range in size—and can be yours for one ticket or more. SmashFest now features Smash Specials as well as the infamous Smash Wall. Come and experience the awesome therapeutic release of destroying things with your friends, your family, and your community.

All Hallow’s Smash!
Spooky season is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than a DUAL LIBERTY ARTS AND SCRAP EXCHANGE PRE-GAME PARTY?!
Before hitting the streets for trick or treating, come hang out in the Scrap sideyard for an afternoon of coke sand smashing (wear something you can dirty in!), testing out some smash contraptions ahead of the big day, bubble wrap stomping for the littles, a Make N' Break crafting station, and more from 12-3pm on Halloween.
Join Liberty Arts’ Iron Breaking Captains to smash reclaimed scrap iron! Everything you destroy will become art during the Annual Iron Pour! Use sledgehammers to break down bathtubs and more. Get a great workout, release your rage, and support reuse art making. Additional PPE will be provided, but iron breakers must wear long pants and closed toe shoes to participate! Volunteers ages 15 and up are welcome. If you'd like to sign the participation waiver ahead of time, head on over to their site (libertyartsnc.org).
@glassjug will be on site selling beer and our pals @durhamcongeecorner will be serving up some snacks.
