Oregon State Capitol hosts virtual Multicultural Day  Aug. 15

Participants of cultural and heritage events, usually hosted at the Capitol as part of the award-winning Capitol History Gateway programming, have joined together to create Multicultural Day Reimagined. This Facebook event, sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation, will be celebrated Saturday, August 15, starting at 10 a.m. at https://www.facebook.com/events/779237482609193/.  Join us online for family-friendly activities such as musical entertainment, dancing and storytelling.

This virtual event will feature specially recorded performances by our CHG partners and contain recordings of some past performances and video tours of heritage sites in Oregon. In addition, many groups will be sharing information about their communities and provide links to learn more about them. In all, approximately 45 partners contributed information to making this virtual festival happen.

For those who cannot join on Facebook, the Capitol will host a page of partner videos that will go live August 15 https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/capitolhistorygateway/Pages/multiculturalday-partners.aspx as well as the festival’s main page https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/capitolhistorygateway/Pages/multicultural-day-reimagined.aspx.
