Tapestry Festival Multicultural Event ties together a diverse Kamloops

The second annual Tapestry Festival Multicultural Event will return to McDonald Park in North Kamloops on Sept. 16.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The inaugural Tapestry Festival in 2022 was a massive success, with large crowds gathering in the park to enjoy food, music and performances of various disciplines.

This year, there will be something for everyone, from dangers and singers and bands and drummers featuring music and moves with connections to Jamaica, Spain, India and more.

While the performers will be on the main stage, guided by emcee Tara Holmes, a nearby food pavilion will feature eight vendors and a worlds of cuisine to discover.

Their Multicultural Neighbourhood will be filled with pavilions and vendors from numerous countries. Featured will be the Art Pavilion, which will have ethnic artists showing and explaining how their art reflects their culture, and the World Kids Zone, which will have a large bouncy slide castle, face painting, crafts, multicultural games, Chinese Dragon and more.

All vendors will be wearing their cultural regalia, so visitors are encouraged to bring cameras and take photos with the vendors and performers.
