Explore the World Without Leaving Philadelphia
(firmenpresse) - PHILADELPHIA, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/01/12 -- Another season of free programming continues on the RiverStage at the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia's premier Delaware River waterfront entertainment destination. The 2012 Program Season will showcase an assorted schedule of events including eleven different multicultural festivals that comprise the PECO Multicultural Series. The annual PECO Multicultural Series will begin on May 20th with the Israel Independence Day Festival and continues throughout the event-filled 2011 summer season, ending on September 16th with the Mexican Independence Day.
The PECO Multicultural Series offers a culturally rich outing with a chance to explore the world without needing to travel. These festivals celebrate the diverse ethnic heritages that make Philadelphia unique.
A centerpiece of this year's series will be the newly expanded Global Fusion Festival. Now in its 6th year, this year's event will be a co-production between the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation and the Multi-cultural Affairs Congress of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitor's Bureau. The Global Fusion Festival celebrates the "cultural fusions" of the world with the LARGEST, one-day festival in Philadelphia, featuring Grammy award-winning headliners, ethnic performers, vendors, and kid's activities all for FREE!
Past headliners of Global Fusion have included Guyanese Grammy award-winning R&B singer Melanie Fiona, Salsa singer Brenda K. Starr, R&B quartet En Vogue, Puerto Rican Bachata artist Toby Love, and more.
Admission is for all PECO Multicultural Series events. KYW Newsradio and NBC 10 are proud media partners of the series.
