Martin Luther King, Jr. Multicultural Fest

Celebrate the rich diversity of our region!

Join us for Martin Luther King, Jr. Multicultural Fest on Saturday, January 18 from 10 AM – 3 PM. This FREE event is a celebration of the rich diversity of our region.

Visitors will learn about the diverse array of cultural and heritage groups that shape the tapestry of our community. There will be booths displaying art, crafts, and pictures of different cultures. Kids will learn and connect with cultural traditions through arts and crafts. Each child will receive a passport and travel to each cultural booth to earn a stamp in their passport.

In the Performance Area, watch as dancers, performers, and musicians light up the stage throughout the day. During this program, the City of Wenatchee will award the winners of the 2025 Wenatchee Valley Uplift Awards. The Uplift Awards Ceremony will start at 11 AM.

Nominated individuals include Catholic Charities Behavioral Health and Crisis Program Director Steven Hightower, Public Defender Stephen Krake, NCW Libraries Latino Services Manager Claudia Bovee and Edward Jones Financial Advisor Mina Gomez.

Nominated organizations include OUT- North Central Washington, the Community for the Advancement of Family Education (CAFÉ), the Interfaith Justice Coalition and the Wenatchee Valley Dispute Resolution Center. Learn more about the Uplift Awards nominees here.

To close out our event, Indigenous Roots and Reparation Foundation (IRRF) will provide a traditional salmon bake meal. It is first come, first served, and by donation.

Thank you to NCW Equity Alliance and the Indigenous Roots and Reparation Foundation (IRRF) for partnering with us for this event. This event is sponsored by Chelan County PUD.
