Ethnic Expo is reminding vendors that Aug. 31 is the deadline to apply for food and bazaar booths for the event, which is Oct. 12 and 13 outside Columbus City Hall.
The two-day festival, which fosters understanding and appreciation for the city’s diverse population, is celebrating its 35th year. This year’s host country is France.
Columbus Indiana Accueil will be the lead group for the festival along with Faurecia. As host country, France’s culture and food will be featured at a new Host Country Corner at the festival. This year, the corner will replicate a guinguette, which is a riverside pavilion offering food, wine, music and dancing.
Individuals, families, schools, neighborhood groups and community organizations wishing to participate in the Ethnic Expo Parade must sign up by Sept. 21. It’s free to sign up for the 11 a.m. Oct. 13th parade.
For applications for vendors or for the parade, visit ethnicexpo.org or call 812-376-2520.
