Roots and Heritage Festival
Since its origins in 1989 as a small neighborhood street fair, the Roots & Heritage Festival has grown to the status of a major, highly popular cultural event which literally attracts thousands of festival-goers from across the state and beyond. Roots & Heritage Festival events take place throughout the month of September and consist of a wide variety of exciting, culturally enriching activities. The calendar includes art exhibits, literary readings, midnight basketball, a golf tournament, film presentations, childrens programming, theater, a comedy night, a health fair and ball, a nationally renowned speaker, and the ever popular two-day street festival.
