Jitendra (Jeet) Hiremath, Chair of the Harrisburg MultiCultural Festival, shares the inspiration behind this event: “There are very few forums where we try to bring our diverse communities together. Harrisburg is growing at a very fast pace, and people are coming from all over the world, and there isn’t one thing to bring them all together. We’re slowly detaching from our rich traditions, culture, and values. There are no avenues for people from different walks of life to connect and share their traditions and culture. The festival is going to change that. The Harrisburg MultiCultural Festival Teams endeavor to provide our diverse communities a platform to connect with each other, share their rich traditions, culture, and values through music, dance, art, food, and traditional games so as to embrace our similarities and differences.”
As the 5th Annual Harrisburg MultiCultural Festival approaches, mark your calendars for a day of connection, celebration, and unity. This event, presented and organized by the Harrisburg Arts, Culture & Heritage Committee with support from Harrisburg Parks and Recreation, is free to attend and a chance to come together, learn, and grow as we embrace the beauty of our diverse world.
