Multicultural Celebration

MARCH 5

Weston World Fest showcases the cultural diversity within our community. Attendees can travel the world visiting educational country booths created by residents to represent their homelands. This year’s theme, Animals of the Planet, will introduce festivalgoers to the native species in each of the 20 countries on display. Students receive stamps in their “passport” for each country they visit. There will also be authentic international foods for sale by local restaurants and onstage performances by artists, dancers, singers, and musicians. Be sure to stop by Weston Regional Park from 12-4 p.m. to partake in the festivities. 1weston.com/weston-world-fest
