RALEIGH- Our Caroline Blair sits down with an organizer of the 19th annual Lebanese Festival in Downtown Raleigh, for a preview of the fun family event, and a look at how they hope spread cultural diversity and awareness.
Since the 1890s, Lebanese immigrants have moved to North Carolina where they have left a lasting impression. And in their 19th annual Lebanese Festival, they're spreading their culture through music, food, art and dance.
The event is Saturday, April 8th from 11am- 7pm at the City Plaza, located at 400 Fayetteville Road in Raleigh. Expect home-cooked falafel, hummus, tabouli and baklava on hand, along with live music and dance performances.
