Community Cultural Celebration
Saturday, May 3, 2025
12-3:30 pm
Wilton YMCA
The Community Cultural Celebration is an opportunity to unite the Wilton community, showcasing the diverse cultures that make up our town through dance, music, dress, holidays, and food from around the world. It's an opportunity to interact with and learn from each other, bringing together representatives from various cultures to showcase their unique heritage and educate the Wilton community about their traditions and culture. Each of the (insert #) countries represented will have a table display to help you learn more about their culture and we will also feature larger performances from select cultures throughout the event.
Bring the kids to travel the world with our Passport Program, where they can collect stickers from each country when they stop by their table!
