Presented by The Arts Council of Greater Weston and the City of Weston

Theme:  Music of the World

The sixth annual Weston World Fest will feel different – but will still celebrate the global diversity of culture and entertainment. This year’s event will be a drive through experience that will pay tribute to the “Music of the World”, with the opportunity for the community to also display their cultural heritage.

In addition to driving by colorful booths featuring the music of each country, attendees are encouraged to decorate their own cars to represent their family heritage.

The event will follow all COVID-19 event guidelines; therefore, attendees are asked to remain in their cars during the entire drive through and participants of each country display will be physically distanced.

In addition to driving by colorful booths featuring the music of each country, attendees are encouraged to “show your ancestry” by decorating their vehicles with the colors and flags of their family heritage. “It’s almost a double parade,” notes Event Founder and Director Carol Lema. “People will be driving by and experiencing all of our wonderful country booths, while the community attending the event can express pride in their own ancestry by decorating their cars, too. Whether you have family roots in one part of the world or many, you can decorate your own car using balloons, flags, streamers, etc. to express that.”

Any community member who wishes to decorate their car before the event can assemble in the Weston Branch Library parking lot to decorate, and then join the event. The community is asked to follow physical distancing and use facial coverings while decorating, and remain in their cars during the entire drive through event.

At the end of the “Drive Thru” route, a colorful backdrop will await, where cars can stop to have a photographer capture a photo of attendees in their cars.
