Organized by the Halifax immigration platform My Halifax Experience, the inaugural event intends to break the mould of past multicultural festivals with a carnival-inspired display of colourful culture. Starting with a parade at 2 p.m. along Lower Water Street, the celebration of the region's diversity will continue with a waterfront party at Salter Lot until 9 p.m. We can't wait to showcase the talent we have in this city, said Ifeanyi Emesih, founder of My Halifax Experience and Mosaic Festival, in a news release. There will be singing, dancing, incredible food, vendors selling clothing, chocolate, jewelery and more. So many cultures will be represented in the parade, on stage and in the vendors area.
