Multicultural Festival
Sept. 9th, 2023 11am-3pm
Join us on Sept. 9th, 2023 from 11am-3pm at Etowah River Park to celebrate the diversity within our communities with performances, music, food, and more!
The Canton Multicultural Festival is a free event created to celebrate and strengthen community relationships among the different cultures that co-exist in our wonderful city. The festival is not only a community outreach event for the Canton Police Department but a joint event, in an effort to unite our community through partnerships. Our vision is to provide citizens within our community a glimpse of the many different cultures and their heritages. Countries from all over the world will be preparing tastings of specific foods native to their culture. We will also have traditional live performances, music, and interactive demonstrations to provide an authentic cultural celebration and learning experience for all of those who attend.
We will have a soccer tournament the day of the event, where teams can sign up and play. Check-in will begin at 10:30 A.M., with the tournament beginning at 11:00 A.M. If you would like to register your team ahead of time (preferred) for the soccer tournament, please fill out the soccer registration form. After you complete the form, and select submit, the form will automatically be sent to the soccer tournament organizer. If you have any questions about the tournament, please reach out to Pastor Brando at eebp81@gmail.com.
