A special focus on the spiritual principle of “gratitude” provided a foundation for a series of presentations from various traditions – Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Baha’i – including song, dance, and drama.

Opportunities for fun and exercise were provided through a petting zoo, bouncy houses, a pony carousel, and chair yoga.

The purpose of this community festival was to strengthen individual and community health and promote the ideals of religious freedom and unity. It was a day to celebrate our diversity, connect with one another, and enjoy!
