Everybody Welcome: A Celebration of Cultural Diversity took place on August 18th in downtown Colorado Springs between 10 AM and 6 PM. Many cultural events took place in the downtown area in several locations: Acacia Park, City Auditorium, Kiowa Street between Nevada and Weber, and Weber Street between Bijou and Kiowa. The first in a proposed annual event was put together by Colorado Springs Diversity Forum to celebrate the cultural diversity that exists in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs. There were music, dances, crafts, food, information booths and lectures showcasing the wonders of diversity that make Colorado Springs a welcoming place for everyone. The mission of the Colorado Springs Diversity Forum is to “work to create opportunity for our citizens to appreciate the rich diversity in our community and communicate that appreciation to those inside and outside our community.” The festival on August 18th definitely is a positive step toward meeting the objectives outlined in this mission statement.
