The Local Colors Festival brings many different cultures together in one place. Attendees experience cuisine, performances, and displays from around the world. Children learn about other cultures through the passport program. It is a free event; no charge to attend. This year's featured country is South Korea. A delegation from Wonju, South Korea, will be in attendance at this year's festival; this is a Sister City of Roanoke City.
Our local council represents the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) at this multicultural festival via marching in the Parade of Nations and helming the Kids Korner. There are three different ways that Girl Scout troops/girls/families can participate:
- ATTEND this marvelous multicultural festival! Grab a festival patch for $2 at the Girl Scout display table located in the Kids Korner/children’s activities area.
- VOLUNTEER at children’s activities area (helping little ones with arts, crafts, & games); 2-hour shifts (10:30 AM-5:30 PM); FREE PATCH + SOUVENIR for one 2-hour shift. Open to Juniors-Ambassadors Girl Scouts and adult volunteers.
- MARCH in the Parade of Nations representing the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (10:50 AM-11:30 AM); FREE PATCH for marchers (girls only; adults may purchase for $2). Open to all age-level of Girl Scouts. Wear your Girl Scout vest/sash; we'll provide banners and flags for Girl Scouts to carry.
