Roanoke's largest, FREE multicultural festival will be in full swing at Elmwood Park. The Local Colors Festival celebrates the many ethnic cultures from around the globe that are represented in the Roanoke Valley.The festival opens with a Parade of Nations where residents proudly display their flags of their heritage and cultural dress. After that is an afternoon full of ethnic diversity to enjoy. Taste the dishes of many international cuisines, watch vivid dance and music performances, learn about different cultures from several exhibits, purchase vendor goods representing different cultures, and drink an international beer. Kids can create international crafts in our children's activity area.
The Local Colors Festival is a free family-friendly way to celebrate the bright tapestry that makes Roanoke a welcoming city.
Vendor and performer applications are now available on the Local Colors website. This is the only way to apply. The deadline is April 11th. There are only a few spots left.
DO NOT RESPOND TO ANYONE IN THE COMMENT SECTION CLAIMING TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS. DO NOT SEND ANYONE A ZELLE OR PAYPAL PAYMENT. Local Colors generates vendor invoices from its account.
