Details

Local Colors, the area's largest multicultural festival, makes its return to downtown’s Elmwood Park on May 20th. Our festival celebrates the many diverse international heritages in the Roanoke Valley region.

Taste the dishes of many national cuisines, watch the vivid dance and music performances, learn about cultures from exhibitors, imbibe at the international beer garden, and create international crafts in the children’s area. It’s a free family-friendly way to celebrate the bright tapestry that makes Roanoke a welcoming city.

The Parade of Nations begins at 11 a.m., in which representatives of various countries show off their flags, traditional dress, and heritage. Performances, food and drink, and educational offerings continue throughout the day.
