Traveling Around the World While Staying in Town
March 23, 2023
• The Needham community celebrated cultures from around the world at its first Multicultural Festival.
Powers Hall was packed on Sunday, March 19th, as the Needham Human Rights Committee and Needham Diversity Initiative teamed up to present a Multicultural Festival. The event featured food, performances and information about twenty different countries worldwide, and if the local reaction was enough to gauge its success, it marked the start of a new town tradition. Kathryn Brodie was there.
