Hurricane Florence couldn’t rain on THIS parade. A little over a month after one of the most destructive hurricanes in our port city’s history raged through Wilmington, Cucalorus 24 brought collective joy, societal mindfulness, and a raucous good time to a community in recovery. Indie legends Superchunk kicked off the festivities, the Connect Conference celebrated four years of innovation, and over 200 unexpected films were screened. Other highlights included John Jeremiah Sullivan and Rhiannon Giddens’s powerful musical exploration of Wilmington’s pre-coup culture of 1898.
