Webster University is Major 2010 Festival of Nations Sponsor
St. Louis (MO). The International Institute of St. Louis is delighted to announce that Webster University has again committed as a major sponsor for the annual Festival of Nations. Produced by the Institute, Festival of Nations is our region's largest annual multicultural celebration, featuring dance, music, food gifts and artists from around the world. This year's event is scheduled for August 28 and 29 in Tower Grove Park near the city's thriving International District on S. Grand Blvd.
The Webster University World Music Stage will feature non-stop musical entertainment throughout the weekend. Musical groups will offer a variety of beats and sounds, from Afro-Cuban rhythms to Gypsy jazz.
Webster University has been a strong supporter of the Institute's multicultural festivals for more than a decade "Our partnership is a natural fit," said Anna Crosslin, Institute president and festival director. "It makes sense for the local university with the greatest number of international campuses to be closely identified with St. Louis' most international event."
Now in its 11th year, the festival draws more than 125,000 visitors from 100 zip codes. Admission is free. Learn more at: www.stlfestivalofnations.org.
The International Institute of St. Louis is our region's premiere resource for immigrant newcomers needing English classes, employment and translation. Other programs promote small business development and micro-lending, services that strengthen immigrant families and St. Louis as well. Still other services help immigrant newcomers and their neighbors learn about and better appreciate each other. The Institute's first multicultural festival was produced in 1920. Details about the Institute are available at www.iistl.org. The Institute also recently launched "the i," a community-based web site to promote the vast breadth of international activities locally. The site is located at www.theistl.org. |
