And, in fact, our summers and autumns here are brimming with weekend-long celebrations of one kind or another, the great majority of which are ethnic festivals. Yes, of course we have a wonderful African World festival. And a Fiesta Mexicana. And an Asian Moon Festival. And an Indian Summer.
Traditional dress is everywhere.
And those are just in Milwaukee. Reaching past the state line, Chicago has also long been known for it's pride in and celebration of it's ethnic communities. The ethnic organizations that support the festivals of this size and scope are hearty, vigorous, and dedicated. Find a local park or campground, check out the zoning and insurance requirements, and put fliers in shop windows and an open invitation in the local paper. Arrange for music, and christmas lights in the trees in the evening, and dancing.
