Multicultural Block Party 2017
Over 750 people from around the region gathered at the Campbellton Civic Center parking lot on June 30th to celebrate Multicultural Day in the warm, sunny weather.
This celebration of Multicultural Day, hosted by the Restigouche Multicultural Association, encourages the participation of the whole community in events that celebrate and embrace the cultural diversity that is present in the region.
The afternoon activities for families, featuring multicultural, educational kiosks, started at 2:00pm and continued until 4:00pm. These kiosks were hosted by volunteers originating from varying countries and presented a fantastic opportunity for the community to come and learn about different cultures.
Also present at the event were food vendors serving up Indian, Jamaican, African, Asian, Middle Eastern and other International Cuisine which began around 5 pm. The attendees were very excited to have a taste of the different dishes from around the world.
Following the daytime event, the Block Party event began, free of charge. The attendees had the pleasure of listening to the music presented by Danny Party, and the Lumber Jills. There was also an interactive Cuban dance performance by Luis La Rosa and a belly dancing performance by Serpentine Studios.
