This Tiny North Carolina Town Is The Cultural Heart Of One Of America’s Largest Native American Tribes

It is hard for me to square the size of this town with the amount of history packed into it. In southeastern North Carolina, one small community became a center of Lumbee life, with a university founded in 1887 to train Native teachers growing alongside tribal institutions and traditions that still bring thousands of people together.

Dreamville Festival could make a comeback in Raleigh in 2027

The organizers behind Raleigh's popular Dreamville Festival have applied for a special event permit to hold the festival at Dix Park in 2027. Why it matters: If it happens, the festival could attract tens of thousands of people to Raleigh and generate over $100 million in economic activity . Catch up quick: In 2025, North Carolina rapper J. Cole announced that he would be stepping back from performing and organizing the Dreamville Festival. But due to its success, Live Nation and the city of Raleigh worked out a deal to return a festival, potentially under a different name, to Dix Park. However, organizers did not put on a festival this year. Driving the news: The permit, filed in October and obtained through a record request by Axios, is still under review. If approved, it doesn't mean that the event will ultimately go ahead. But it does indicate planning is ongoing. Yes, but: A permit was also filed last year and no festival materialized, a spokesperson for the city of Raleigh confirmed. Festival organizers haven't responded to multiple requests for comment. Zoom in: The event permit lists the name of the event as Dreamville Presents and describes it as a multi-stage
