MOSAIC 2013: SATURDAY JUNE 8th 12pm – 8pm at FESTIVAL PARK brought to you by CWS Greensboro Immigration & Refugee Program

MOSAIC Festival 2013 welcomes you to celebrate culture and diversity through food, music, and art in Downtown Greensboro. The annual event draws thousands to Festival Park each year to enjoy live music and dance on two outdoor stages and features an ethnic street food fair, cultural crafts, artisans and more. Now in its fourth year, MOSAIC Festival 2013 will be bigger than ever with a new Culture Expo tent where artists and musicians will demonstrate their talents as well as the always popular Children & Family Area with games and moonwalk brought to you by local nonprofit the New Arrivals Institute, and a Beer Garden for the adults.
This year’s event is shaping up to an ethnic experience like none other and we hope you will join us on Saturday June 8th from 12pm-8pm in Festival Park (200 N. Davie St) in downtown Greensboro. This FREE event is hosted by local non-profit CWS Greensboro and 100% community supported. Donations are greatly appreciated and all funds raised at the event go directly back into the community supporting programs to help make Greensboro a more welcoming place for all. This year, CWS is raising funds to support Cultural Orientation and Education Programs for newcomers.

History

Mosaic Festival launched in 2010 as a way to engage the Greensboro community in celebrating the diversity and cultures of the Triad. The first year’s event was held in honor of World Refugee Day on June 19th 2010 and drew more than 1000 people to festival park for music, dance, food, and crafts from all over the world.

The event is organized by the Immigration and Refugee Program of Church World Service of Greensboro (CWS) in collaboration with a network of service providers and volunteers including The New Arrivals Institute

Mosaic Festival provides an opportunity for Greensboro to enjoy the wide variety of cultural gifts that our community has to offer. In so doing, it aims to raise awareness of the diversity of our city, promoting tolerance, understanding, and appreciation across cultures.
