Fuquay-Varina citizenry reflects the microcosm of the world stage. Embracing this diversity provides opportunities for all of us to experience our neighbors in different ways. As a result of these experiences, we become more knowledgeable and comfortable interacting with individuals from various backgrounds and cultures. Fuquay-Varina can become stronger, more respectful of our differences, and more able to see the commonalities among us. “Fuquay-Varina Around the World: An International Cultural Festival” enjoyed its inaugural event on April 27, 2019 and hosted an ambitious schedule of performances by groups representing different ethnic groups, writers of different genres, artists depicting different life experiences, and an assortment of international foods through our invited food trucks. It was a technical success and we are excited to add this event to our annual calendar and hope it becomes a beloved celebration of the power of diversity in our community for years to come.
