A free Multi-Cultural Festival will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. along Main Street between Riverside Drive and Second Street.
The festival will include about a dozen booths offering international food, handmade crafts from different countries, entertainment, children's crafts and a general introduction to life around the world. Latino, Indian, Greek, Italian, Asian and Scottish cultures will be among those represented. The entertainment includes Egyptian belly dancers, local bagpipers, the Boom Squad drummers, Latin American performer Daniela Vidal and an international folk-dancing troupe. This is the first year the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville and Downtown Rotary Club are joining forces on the event. Radio station WIKY-FM104.1 also is a sponsor. Singer Gina Moore will open the event with "God Bless America." Source: http://www.courierpress.com/news/2009/oct/21/multi-cultural-festival-will-trip-around-world/ |
