So many different cultures were represented, including but not limited to Turkey, Greece, the Philippines, India, Georgia, Turkey, the Netherlands and parts of Africa.

The event drew 600+ people to the Secaucus Rec Center on March 19, to enjoy more than 250 performers, artists, authors and vendors from 20 world cultures.
