Unity in The Community to Bring Cultures Together

The Unity in the Community Multi-Cultural Event will be held here in Festival Park today from noon to 5 p.m.

President and Founder Stevie McAfee said he started the event for no other reason than to bring people together.

“It’s based on bringing different cultures together for a festive day,” said McAfee. “It’s about people getting to know people in the community.”

But the event has grown, McAfee said.

People from the area often invite friends down who live in other states as far away as New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The event offers fellowship, food and fun. There will be praise dancers, choirs and special events for children as well as food vendors.

“It’s a Christian event. But it’s a community event,” McAfee said.
