Kaleidoscope 2008 is a family-friendly celebration of many cultures produced by the City of West Palm Beach in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County. Students in Palm Beach County schools work for months with local cultural organizations to learn about a specific country and then create an authentic representation of that country in the form of a “village” which the public is invited to tour at the event. Kaleidoscope has been judged the “Best Educational Event” and “Best Community Outreach Event” by the International Festivals & Events Association. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Centennial Square and on the East Library Grounds in Downtown West Palm Beach. Features include continuous live authentic cultural entertainment on two stages, 18 different villages from around the world, interactive activities for children, ethnic food and refreshments, and an international bazaar. Participating sponsors include National City, Palm Beach County, The Palm Beach Post, La Palma, 97.9 fm WRMF, Comcast, the West Palm Beach Marriott, SouthWest Airlines, the Children’s Services Council, Coca-Cola, and Columbia Restaurant. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (561) 822-1515 or visit www.wpb.org/kaleidoscope
