IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO REALIZE A DREAM
Dreamfest is a weekend of events, both community and Cary sponsored, that celebrate the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin L. King Jr. During the holiday weekend, we present a diverse range of programs that explore topics such as equity, representation, and poverty while providing opportunities for community service.
