Four in five adults want their communities to hold cultural events and celebrations during the holidays that everyone can enjoy according to a newly released National Recreation and Park Association poll. Two-thirds of parents and millennials say it is "extremely" or "very important" to host such events in their community.

These events, which are typically hosted by local parks and recreation, include:

 
• Diwali celebrations
• Menorah lightings
• Winter Solstice festivals
• Christmas markets
• Chinese New Year celebrations

"Park and recreation agencies nationwide welcome every member of the community through a variety of events and celebrations during the holiday season," said Kevin Roth, NRPA vice president of professional development, research and technology. "These events highlight the great diversity found in our communities and give everyone the opportunity to experience the different cultural traditions celebrated this time of year."

This poll is part of NRPA's Park Pulse, a continuing series of monthly surveys that gauge the public's opinion.
