'A Slice of Culture' will be a key component of this year's Waterford Harvest Festival, the Déise's multicultural event.
A Slice of Culture, first held in 2021, is collaborative effort between migrant individuals and communities of the Waterford New Communities Network, supported by Waterford City and County Council, Creative Ireland and SICAP.
Taking place in Wyse Park, in the city centre, from 11am to 7pm on Saturday, September 7, the event promises to be a day of vibrant cultural celebrations, showcasing the rich diversity in Waterford’s communities.
The lineup will feature music, dance and performances from Waterford’s varied cultural groups.
There will also be food stalls with cuisines from across the globe, along with arts and crafts exhibitions, and international traditional attire.
At 3pm there will be the unveiling of a collaborative art collage created by migrant groups.
The event will be free of charge and everyone is welcome to attend.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: "The Slice of Culture festival is a fantastic opportunity to experience the beauty of multiculturalism and foster community spirit."
