Throughout the program, there is
music and entertainment. Flamenco dancers, local musicians, kids dancing, face
painting, martial arts show, etc.
This is a very friendly event that introduces the locals to the world around them. People come to each booth to ask questions, learn a thing or two and mostly amazed that their city is indeed multicultural.
This is an event to look forward to every year. For more information about this event, visit www.worldonthesquare.org.
