Every year, the tri-community brings together and celebrates cultural diversity through Culturama. The week-long event has a series of culturally influenced workshops, presentations and displays that the community can participate and engage in.
Currently, the committee for Culturama is looking for submissions to enhance the event. There are four categories in which people can be a part of Culturama.
“Culturama celebrates the rich cultural diversity of our tri-community through traditions, performances, and food,” said Tri-community Culturama Planning Chair Akech Mayuom. “There are so many ways to get involved at Culturama, which means there is something for everyone. People can register to participate through the categories established. “The first category is live performance, which includes playing musical instruments, dancing, spoken words, or theatre. Performances should reflect cultural heritage and traditions. Then we have a volunteering category, where we are looking for volunteers to help with a variety of roles, which include greeting and welcoming guests, managing admissions and ticket booths, assisting with setup and teardown, and much more.
