Dance and movement will take center stage Sunday at the Multicultural Center of Central Minnesota’s fourth annual celebration in Wilson Park.



“Global Movements,” the theme of this year’s event, will be played out through a variety of acts from around the region who will perform traditional American Indian, Latin and Somali dances and hip-hop. Performers include Ilays Multicultural Artists, Universal Dance Destiny, Native Pride Dancers and the Stearns County Pachanga Society.

Kathleen Kampa of the Central Minnesota School of Dance will teach folk dances from around the world.

The event includes a silent auction, free food samples and family events.

It is free and runs from 1-4 p.m. Sunday.

The organization’s goals are to increase cultural understanding and connect people and organizations with community resources.
