The eighth annual World in Potsdam Diversity Festival, which will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2001. On that Saturday, people from the area will again join together in the Village of Potsdam and experience the sights, sounds and foods of cultures from around the world. Most events will take place in downtown Potsdam, where the first block of Market Street will be closed off for the occasion. In February 2001, the World in Potsdam committee will be seeking volunteer entertainers and groups with an international flair to perform at the festival. The community is also invited to participate as festival volunteers.
Help is needed in crafts and demonstrations, entertainment and decorations.
The World in Potsdam is co-sponsored by Clarkson University , SUNY Potsdam and the Village of Potsdam , with major support from the Sweetgrass Foundation.
