The Humanist Center of Cultures announces its fifth annual Thanksgiving with a multicultural food festival to be held Sunday, November 23 from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. The potluck celebration will take place at Sunnyside Community Services located at 43-31 39th Street.
Each year brings considerable participation by the city's diverse population and has offered food, dance and music from Africa, the Far East, Latin America and South Asia.
Says media coordinator of the event, Sushmita Mukherjee, "We organize this party every year to celebrate and appreciate the diversity in our unique community. Our Thanksgiving festival seeks to overcome the cultural fragmentation of our society and to salute the immigrants who have contributed positively to their adopted homeland."
Everyone is welcome and the event is free to all. We ask that you please bring a dish to share with others.
The Humanist Center of Cultures is a non-profit organization launched in 1996. For more details on the many neighborhood and international projects being carried out by the Center of Cultures, please visit our website at http://www.centerofcultures.info.
