“We bring you a fun-filled afternoon with our many ethnic and faith communities coming together to share their unique backgrounds and perspectives. Food, activities and new friends await you. Come celebrate with us!”

“The event is not for the purpose of converting audience members to any religious practice or philosophy. Missionary work and proselytizing are explicitly forbidden….”

“Our celebration of diverse and distant faith and cultural origins starts ‘at the beginning,’ with an opening ceremony performed by the Nixya’awii Dancers from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation…. Throughout the afternoon, you can sample ethnic food (lots of sweets!) from around the world at the various international booths, while watching cultural dance and music performances. Browse informational displays from many cultural organizations in our region who share their food, daily life, language, art forms, traditional clothing and myriad other items that make their country or region of origin unique.”
