Everybody Welcome: A Celebration of Culture & Diversity 

When: Aug. 7-13 2011
cospdiversityforum.org

As a person of biracial descent, I can appreciate celebrations of diversity in many different forms. My mom started me off early by taking me to San Francisco's Pride Fest at age 9, which at the end of the day, I think made me a better person. That said, the Colorado Springs Diversity Forum is hosting its fifth annual Everybody Welcome festival, which won the National League of Cities 2010 City Cultural Diversity Award, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at America the Beautiful Park (126 Cimino Drive). The festivities extend through next Saturday with an eclectic blend of performances from area ethnic groups; visit cospdiversityforum.org for a full calendar. — Demetrius Burns
