HOWELL — A celebration of world cultures is happening in downtown Howell this September.
Cultura is scheduled for noon-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Howell Opera House, 123 W. Grand River Ave., in downtown Howell. The annual event celebrates culture from around the world through music, art and food — according to a Cleary University news release.
This marks the second year of the event, which is free admission. The event is hosted by the Livingston Diversity Council and the Livingston Arts Council. It is open to all ages.
Nicole Matthews-Creech, executive director of the Livingston Diversity Council, told Howell City Council at its Aug. 12 meeting that, despite bad weather, the event still drew about 900 attendees throughout the day.
“All aspects of the event will help attendees learn a little more about different cultures through dance, music, art and food,” Matthews-Creech said in the press release. “Cultura is an ideal opportunity to open your minds and hearts to a greater understanding and deeper sense of global community – all on our streets in downtown Howell.”
