Folklorama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Folklorama is an event that runs for two weeks each August in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Folkorama, the longest running multi-cultural event in the world, allows guests to sample exquisite cuisine and celebrate the culture and ethnic heritage of people from more than 60 countries who have made Winnipeg their home. Each country has a certain location called a pavilion, which are scattered throughout the city. Each pavilion is wonderful and unique, allowing everyone to partake in the cuisine and the dancing of that culture. Many pavilions provide extra events, such as audience participation, henna, crafts, and souvenir stands. Many pavilions also provide imported alcohol from their country of choice.
