Cultural Diversity Day aims to recognize the importance of cultural diversity for social cohesion, sustainable development and global peace. The day promotes appreciation for cultural differences, encourages dialogue between cultures, and fosters understanding, tolerance and respect.
The day includes live entertainment, food vendors, displays and raffles. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and promoting each culture for future generations.
Royal Palm Beach is known for its rich cultural diversity. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, the village was 47.3% non-Hispanic White, 24.1% Hispanic, 21.1% Black and 4.3% Asian.
The Caribbean-American for Community Involvement organization has celebrated Royal Palm Beach’s melting pot of ethnicities and cultures annually since 2004.
