Dumfries, Va. — This year marks the second year for the Dumfries Multicultural Fair.
The fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, August 6 in Merchantâs Park in Dumfries, and is once again free to attend.
âThe town is the only community in the area to host a Multicultural Festival highlighting the diverse population through music, dancing and food,â said Dumfries Director of Economic Development Debbi Sandlin.
The goal of the festival remains to bring people of different cultures together to celebrate diversity, added Sandlin.
A variety of food will be offered at the event, from Salvadorian and Mexican dishes, Caribbean eats, right to down barbeque and traditional southern fare.
More than 20 artists and crafters are scheduled to have their work in display, showing oil paintings, stained glass, beaded jewelry, wood carvings, paintings and photography just to name a few, said Sandlin.
And theyâll be music, from rhythm and blues, bluegrass, Irish dance and hip hop.
Children will also be able to enjoy free face painting, a moon bounce, a petting zoo and pony rides.
