We are a partner event with When and Where: 9th annual Festival
Saturday, May 12, 2012
10am to 4pm
Lee Park on Market Street next to the public library, in
downtown Charlottesville
Mission:
- To celebrate the linguistic and cultural diversity in our local community;
- To increase awareness and understanding of that diversity in a respectful environment;
- To provide an opportunity for building a bridge of communication between new Americans and established residents.
We envision the Festival as a gathering place where all
can meet, share in, and learn about each others' cultures. Here you can
take a passport and "travel the world in Lee Park".
