Celebrating our diversity
The World, Right Here in the Midlands
The Midlands is home to people from all over the world, and every one of them brings traditions, stories and a sense of home worth sharing. The Cultural Zone is where those communities come together to celebrate the countries they come from.
Each booth is hosted by local community members representing their country. Stop by, say hello, and discover the languages, clothing, crafts, music and customs that make each culture unique.
Find the Cultural Zone at Moore Park on Sunday, May 2, 2027.
At Every Booth
Each country's booth is a hands-on way to learn about another culture.
Giveaways
Pick up keepsakes and small giveaways from the countries you visit as you make your way around the zone.
Learning
Learn about each country's history, traditions and everyday life from the people who know it best.
