Community Unites to Celebrate Diversity

On June 8th, thousands of people gathered from across the region to celebrate the 27th annual Festival of Cultures. This is the second time offering this event since the integration of the Multi-Cultural Center into LSS. The Festival of Cultures has a longstanding presence in the Sioux Falls community and aims to create a common space for all to gather, learn, and celebrate diverse cultures in the state.

While some Festival attendees pulled up a chair close to the stage to enjoy the day’s lineup of captivating performances, others explored the Global Village, made rain sticks in the children’s activities tent hosted by SDPB, admired the display of nearly 200 flags representing countries around the globe or tasted something new from local food trucks and other food vendors.

The event’s success was made possible because of the partnership with Levitt Sioux Falls, presenting sponsor First PREMIER Bank/PREMIER Bankcard, SDPB, and WIC-CIAO. To learn more and to see pictures from the day, visit Festival.LssSD.org.
