Community Engagement in Knightdale is where connection comes to life! Whether we’re sparking conversations, hosting events, or bringing neighbors together, our goal is simple: build a town where everyone feels seen, heard, and excited to participate. We’re here to amplify voices, celebrate community spirit, and make Knightdale an even better place to call home.
The Community Relations Department helps with the Town's busy special events schedule. From the African American Festival to the Christmas Parade, if the community is there, we are there to interact, engage, and capture to story of the community.
Community Engagement doesn't just stop at in person events either. We are constantly expanding the platforms we use to engage the community like our Engage Knightdale website. This site allows residents to provide feedback on surveys and questions, as well as stay informed on projects the Town is working on.
