by Sabrina Gopaul Residents are invited to celebrate an afternoon of music, dancing, food and fun at the Driftwood Multicultural FestivalThe festival is comprised of activities for all ages and tastes including a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, activities for children and seniors, a multicultural talent show with surprise performances, food from around the world, information tables and much more.“The Driftwood Multicultural Festival is important because it brings together all the various group members who use the building all year and lets us see what each group has been doing,” said Mary Sue MacDonald, a member of the Driftwood Seniors advisory council. “The Festival also informs the community of all the group activities, and gives us all a sense of inclusion in community events.”Perhaps, most importantly, what the festival is truly about is a chance for the community to come together, young and old to enjoy each other's company and to share a sense of community.The festival gives residents of the community a chance to catch up with old friends, experience some of the best food the Jane and Finch community has to offer and take in wonderful entertainment. It also gives people a chance to access services in the community and try something new like tai chi, raw food demos, or learn about resources like the Black Creek Farm.The 38th annual Driftwood Multicultural Festival will take place on Sep. 27 from 10:00a.m. -- 5:00p.m., at Driftwood Community Centre, 4401 Jane St.For interviews with performers, and further information on the festival's activities and much more turn your radio dial to CHRY 105.5 FM from September 22-26.If you are interested in getting involved or want more information in this year's festivities email us at driftwoodfestival@gmail.com.-Sabrina “Butterfly” Gopaul is the coordinator of the Driftwood Multicultural Festival
