Fayetteville has a rich and long history of celebrating its multicultural population. Years ago, a group of forward thinking citizens got together to create the International Folk Festival as a celebration of our diversity. Now in its 30th year, the International Folk Festival has become a three day celebration and has been recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as a Top 20 Festival for three consecutive years.
