Starting with a parade at 2 p.m. along Lower Water Street, the vibrant celebration of the city's diversity will continue with a waterfront party at Salter Lot until 9 p.m. Organized by the Halifax-based immigration platform, My Halifax Experience, the inaugural Mosaic Festival will break the mould of past multicultural festivals, wowing spectators and participants with a carnival-inspired display of colourful culture. So many cultures will be represented in the parade, on stage and in the vendors' area. We can't wait to showcase the talent we have in this city, says Ifeanyi Emesih, founder of My Halifax Experience and Mosaic Festival. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
