Every summer for more than 40 years, our community celebrates ethnic diversity and all of its gifts during the festival which takes place on June 21 and 22 in Victoria Park.
International cuisine, traditional folk song and dance, artifacts and crafts from around the globe and the region and community participation make up this fun-filled event that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The festival brings together various ethno-cultural groups and local community organizations in an effort to build a more comprehensive working model of the area’s cultural mosaic.
