Arts World party time

For the culturally merry comes a brand new fest: Charlotte World Parade & Festival at Independence Park. Way too similar to UNC Charlotte's annual International Festival (which happens in September), it offers exactly what you'd expect: cultural displays, a parade (dubbed the "Parade of Nations" ... See, sound familiar?), food, music, dancing and other forms of entertainment and activities.
Colombia, Germany, Turkey, India, South Africa and many other countries from around the globe are already slated to represent the diverse ethnicities of the Q.C.
