WorldFest Celebration Returns to Woburn

WorldFest is an annual multicultural festival that celebrates the diverse heritages and cultures that make up our local communities.

Tour the world in your own backyard! WorldFest is returning to Woburn on Sunday, May 20, 2018 from 1-5 pm. Visitors can enjoy artwork, crafts, activities, cultural displays, and of course food from all around the world while performers entertain the crowd with dance and music. Participants represent countries from across the world such as Guatemala, Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, China, and many more. Children’s activities and performances will delight the little ones. Bring your family and enjoy an afternoon filled with culture and tons of fun! WorldFest will take place at Library Park Field (63 Harrison Avenue Woburn, MA) and the rain location will be at the Woburn Memorial High School (88 Montvale Avenue Woburn, MA).

This year’s WorldFest is being planned by members of the YMCA International Learning Center’s Leadership Team, in partnership with Social Capital Inc.
