The North Carolina Folk Festival is bringing back its Folk A'Fare fundraiser for the first time since 2019. Angelica Dearco Smith can trace her cooking career back to childhood in her native Colombia, where her father ran a stand selling savory pastries known as empanadas. “I learned how to make empanadas with him,” she says. “So I was one of those kids who had to get up early, make empanadas, go to school, come back, help prep and get up in the morning, make empanadas again.”
The North Carolina Folk Festival will once again hold its Folk A’Fare fundraiser. Tickets are now on sale for the event, at 6 p.m. May 11 at Elm & Bain,
