PERRY, Ga. (WGXA) -- Hundreds of locals celebrated diversity Saturday at the Perry International Festival. The free event covered more than two blocks where attendees could roam from dining, to shopping, to dancing. The festival promoted the preservation of heritage and tradition through cultural entertainment and education.

From a whole range of events from different countries, there was something for the whole family to do.

Performers entertained on stage from as far away from Utah, over a dozen food trucks catered to the public, a line of old fashioned cars to see, and local businesses were set up all help celebrate the melting pot in Middle Georgia.
