Welcome to Our Second Annual
Charlotte World Parade & Festival

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promote the diversity of cultures in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Our mission is to foster a larger understanding of cultures and a deeper appreciation of the many ethnic groups, cultures and perspectives of our world thereby promoting mutual respect and unity among the various people in our area.

This festival will encompass the similarities and differences of cultures through folklore, arts & crafts, food, displays and a fashionable parade of native dresses.
