Each summer, neighborhood parks come alive with programs offering a series of multicultural theme-based arts and crafts that allow children of all ages to develop and express their creative talents along with an appreciation of different cultures.

Interactive performances including dance, music, storytelling, theater and puppetry performed by culturally diverse artists will also be offered, along with evening potlucks and musical concerts in some parks.
