RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- ABC11 Perspectives for September 19, 2021 features segments on Operation Save-A-Life, the Knightdale Education and Arts Fest and La Fiesta del Pueblo.

Operation Save-A-Life

Every year more than 100 people in North Carolina lose their lives in fires. It's a number that could be a lot lower if homes have a working smoke detector.

Once again this year ABC11 is joining with the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center at UNC Hospitals and area fire departments for Operation Save-A-Life in order to raise awareness of the importance of smoke detectors in homes.

Knightdale Education & Arts Fest

On Saturday, Oct. 9, parents can find resources to help them get through this school, and children can find lots of fun activities at the Knightdale Education and Arts Fest, also known as K-Fest.

K-Fest will take place at Knightdale Station Park.

10pm - 2pm - Business Expo / Arts and Education Events

11pm-2pm - Inflatables

5pm-9pm - Concert - Jus Once, D-Train, & Raydio

La Fiesta del Pueblo

On the fourth Sunday of September, the flavors and culture of the Triangle's Latino community are out in full force along Fayetteville Street during the annual La Fiesta del Pueblo.

El Pueblo organizes the annual event to raise awareness and appreciation for the Hispanic community.

The organizers were planning for an in-person Festival on Sunday, Sept. 26, but in August decided to switch to an online Facebook Live event on Oct. 9.
