City to host Culture Fest Saturday at Cultural Park

By CJ HADDAD - | Apr 25, 2024

A city event celebrating diversity is set for this Saturday at Cultural Park in Cape Coral.

The second-annual Cape Coral Culture Fest is free for all to attend, and runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. this weekend. The event is geared towards those of all ages, and will feature different cultures though live music, performances, international food, a variety of vendors and more.

“We hope attendees come out to experience unity, diversity and community pride as we celebrate our rich cultural tapestry,” said city spokesperson Lauren Kurkimilis. “Come out to enjoy food, music, dance and art from around the world while supporting local businesses.”

Kurkimilis said last year’s Culture Fest was a big hit in the community, as more than 800 people attended throughout the day, and was well received.

This year’s event features performances from Calypso Magic, NAPA dance medley, an African drumming workshop with Ndakhte Ndiaye, Kobayashi Dojo, Hula Connection SWFL, Mariachi Juarez, a Middle Eastern performance by Toa Tropical, and a Polynesian Luau from Toa Tropical.

“Culture Fest will be a vibrant celebration of diversity, unity and community spirit,” Kurkimilis said. “From tantalizing food offerings, showcasing flavors from around the globe to mesmerizing performances representing cultures near and far, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Attendees can immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of traditions, music, dance, and artistry that makes our city thrive.”
