Fred Fletcher Park Amphitheater, 106 Clay Street, Raleigh, NC

It Takes a Village is more than an event — it's a movement rooted in unity, service, and the power of community. Hosted by She Speaks Community Co., this annual outdoor experience brings together families, small businesses, nonprofits, and local leaders for a day of connection, giving, and collective growth. With a vendor marketplace, live entertainment, wellness experiences, family-friendly activities, community resource distribution, and the Kicks for Kidz sneaker drive, It Takes a Village reminds us that when we come together with intention, we build stronger, more resilient communities.
