PALM BAY — The City of Palm Bay is preparing for its Fifth Annual Multicultural Festival, a free event featuring music, dance, food and art from various cultures around the globe at Fred Poppe Regional Park, located at 1951 Malabar Road.
The community event is Saturday, March 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It guarantees a lively blend of live entertainment, interactive activities and cultural demonstrations to unite families and friends in a celebration of diversity.
There will be live shows that showcase world traditions, a special Kids’ Zone with activities for kids and food trucks with international tastes. Local sellers will have cultural exchange inspired crafts and items.
Art Show
This year, the festival adds a new twist in presenting its first Art Show in conjunction with Brevard Cultural Alliance, in celebration of America’s 250th birthday year will be at the Ted Whitlock Community Center Gym. It begins with a reception on Friday, March 6 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and continues throughout the main festival day on Saturday.
The festival, in its fifth year, has grown into a Palm Bay staple that attracts people looking to experience world cultures without leaving town. Admission is free, and parking will be available at the park.
