The annual celebration of culture, connection and remembrance returns later this month in Penticton as the OneWorld Multicultural Festival runs for its 12th year.
The OneWorld Festival was held in person after a two year pandemic hiatus this past Saturday, showcasing diversity and community through food, arts, and traditions, bringing to life the Penticton Lakeside Resort.
Representing the arts and diverse cultural identity of immigrants in a time of rising racism and a pandemic is a challenge, according to OneWorld Festival organisers. The festival was an online only event this year due to COVID-19, but hopes to return in person again next year.
