September Story Finds - Downtown Fayetteville is Clean, Safe and Pretty

My dad fought in WWII. When I told him I was going to Fayetteville, he asked if "that bar" was still there. That's the perception of downtown Fayetteville - dirty, full of bars and women on every corner.

It used to be that way. But no more.

Today, downtown Fayetteville is clean, safe, pretty and fun for the whole family. And, on September 24, the inner city will be transformed to a global village during the spectacular International Festival from 12 noon to 6 pm with the Parade of Nations at 3:00 pm.

Eat your fill at the International Cafe where you can sample the culture form over 30 different countries representing Fayetteville's population. Arts and Crafts booths will display and sell handmade items, many from folk art traditions around the world. Six performance stages will provide continuous music and dance.
