Cal Poly MultiCultural Center to Celebrate 12th Annual CultureFest on Oct. 18

SAN LUIS OBISPO – The Cal Poly MultiCultural Center’s 12th annual CultureFest will be held Sunday, Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in San Luis Obispo’s Mitchell Park.

CultureFest is an annual celebration of diversity and culture within the Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo community. This year’s CultureFest theme is “Construction of Culture.” Cultural student clubs from Cal Poly will join with community members to share the music, food, dance, and crafts that help to construct the rich, though sometimes overlooked, cultural heritages that exist in San Luis Obispo.

The family-friendly event is open to all and will feature a free, interactive kids’ zone; free performance area; and booths where student clubs will make and sell delicious cultural foods to raise money for their respective organizations. Local reggae favorites Resination will headline the event with a free performance on the Mitchell Park gazebo stage at 3 p.m. Event publicity sponsors include the city of San Luis Obispo and Wild 106 radio station.

The MultiCultural Center cultivates a campuswide community that represents and celebrates the diversity of Cal Poly’s student body.
