Houghton, Michigan – Parade of Nations is coming to Houghton and Hancock on Sept. 13—and it’s much more than a parade. An entire week of festivities marks the 25thanniversary of the parade and multicultural festival. This year’s theme is Around the World in 25 Years: A Silver Jubilee.
Arun Gandhi, grandson of the legendary Mahatma Gandhi, will give a public talk about the lessons he learned from his grandfather, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12 at the Rozsa Center.
Step Afrika!, a percussion dance troupe from Washington, DC, will involve audiences in their heart-pounding performances. A free mini-performance is scheduled for the Multicultural Festival at the Dee Saturday afternoon, and a full performance will take place at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts Saturday evening.
Food from more than a dozen countries will be on the lunch menu at the Multicultural Festival after the parade, at Dee Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 13.
