The Ocracoke Community Multicultural Celebration, a new event celebrating the rich cultural diversity of Ocracoke Island, will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, at Ocracoke School.
Festivities begin with a student presentation in the school gym at 1 p.m., and then move to the main building for an open house.
The festival is open to the public and aims to bring together students, families, residents, and visitors to honor and celebrate cultural heritage through music, dance, food and interactive activities.
This year’s theme focuses on the shared histories and traditions of the many cultures that have influenced Ocracoke, highlighting both the diversity within the community and the universal experiences that bind us together
The event is free to the public, with food available for purchase.
The celebration is produced through a partnership between Ocracoke School and the non-profit Ocracoke Alive. Additional support provided by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
