The Vestavia Hills school system plans to hold its second “I Am Vestavia Festival” at the Vestavia Hills Civic Center on Thursday, Sept. 26, to celebrate the system’s cultural diversity.
People representing more than 54 countries plan to share about their native culture with a parade of flags and a festival village that includes a fashion show, children’s activities and variety of performances designed to pay homage to different countries’ style of dress and artistic talents.
The event is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m., and the public is invited.
Beyond the festival village, students in Vestavia Hills schools will be exposed to other countries through 80 different lesson plans designed to foster curiosity and understanding, school officials said.
