Cultural Showcase | 4pm - 6pm

Carroll’s first cultural fair aims to bring individuals together and celebrate our unique histories. Cultural celebrations foster respect and open-mindedness and helps to unite and educate us. This fair will provide a space for anyone who chooses to participate. You are invited to showcase your traditions and customs through storytelling, art, music, fashion, performance and more! We hope to create a sense of community and belonging in this celebration.

Cultural Market | 12pm - 1pm

Carroll’s first cultural market is a continuation of the cultural fair celebrations. This event strives to increase awareness, understanding of, and pride in our ethnic diversities, through the sharing of food! This event is all about sharing, experiencing and learning. Explore how food is linked to family heritage, specific cultures and celebrations big and small. Embrace the richness that diversity can bring to a community and experience it all through food!
