Maryland Heights, MO, February 17, 2014 - The event is free and offers activities and entertainment for all ages.
The event kicks off at noon with the "Parade of Nations" opening ceremony led by local scout troops and country representatives. Two stages will feature live music and dance from around the globe from noon to 5 p.m. Several artisans will be on hand to demonstrate their crafts, including ice sculpture, henna and wood carving. The festival will also offer an international marketplace, where vendors representing a number of different nations will sell jewelry, crafts, artwork and other items.
Ranken Jordan Pediatric Specialty Hospital, Saint Louis Art Museum and the St. Louis County Library will host special activities for youngsters and their parents in the children's area. And of course, the day wouldn't be complete without the delectable culinary delights of the "Taste of the World" refreshment area. Be sure to bring a few dollars to sample dishes from Argentina, Brazil, the Middle East, Nigeria and more.
