When entering the festival, “check in” by pinning the country or countries of your ancestors on a world map. Also be sure to pick up a program and a passport for the children so they can take advantage of the many free children’s activities. This year’s participants represent countries from across the world such as Guatemala, India, Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, China, Ireland, and more. So mark your calendars and bring your family and enjoy an afternoon filled with culture and fun! WorldFest will take place at the Woburn Memorial High School (88 Montvale Avenue Woburn, MA).
