Our neighborhood is special; Kensington is the beautiful mosaic, the term so often used to describe the United States.

"Organizers of Kensington’s upcoming World’s Fair event represent a broad spectrum of the various cultures that call the neighborhood home." (Daily News article)
The cultural festival will feature the music, dance, food, and crafts of the many countries that our neighbors, their parents, or their parents' parents once called home. Bangladeshi folk dancers, young dancers, musicians playing Jewish klezmer, Slavic, and children's music, and many more performers will delight your eyes, ears, and feet.
