The third annual Diversifest! is fast approaching! This year it will take place on Saturday, June 24 from 4:30-7:30pm, on the section of Main Street between Summer Street and Church Avenue.

This free-to-the-public event celebrates diversity in all forms, with a focus on building an inclusive community that celebrates and promotes cultural diversity. This is the largest cultural event in Sussex, with over a dozen cultures represented through performances, activities, and cultural tables.

Stage Show at Leonard’s Gate.  Childrens amusements,  cultural and information booths, and live stage show with music and dancing.  Free to all.  

Diversifest! 2023 will also feature representation from groups and organizations serving marginalized communities in NB, in order to reaffirm our commitment to equity, inclusion, and mutual respect.

Follow our Facebook page to stay up-to-date on all things Diversifest! 2023. We will be posting more information about the performers, tables, and activities over the next few weeks!
