Local Food Fair
Reword for Local Food Fair
The Washington Street Community Association, the City of High Point, and Growing High Point partner to celebrate our community’s history and diversity at the Unity Festival and Local Food Fair at Washington Terrace Park. The Unity Festival began in 2010 as a day of entertainment, food, and fun. In 2022 the Local Food Fair was added to the festivities with contests, food demonstrations, and a farmers market. Come out to enjoy a beautiful park and entertainment, food trucks, games for kids, vendors, and neighbors! The event is free and open to the public.
We encourage nonprofit organizations to have a booth at no cost to share resources with our community. You can register to be a vendor here.(link to Unity Festival vendor form)
