Multicultural Centre: Festival and Riverside Park

multicultural centre: During the early years, the festival was held out of the multicultural centre in downtown Guelph, according to CBC. I would say we started with maybe 300 or 400 people, and now we have 24,000, 25,000 people coming, Callegari said. You see new people every day you're here, Callegari, president of the festival, said ahead of the event this weekend. It's come a long way since then and this weekend marks 31 years for the festival, which is held now in Riverside Park. A special highlight this year is Together, a mobile exhibit by the Aga Khan Foundation of Canada, which is currently touring the country for Canada 150. About 20 cultures will be represented at this year's festival, and as always, there will be plenty of food and entertainment from around the world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
