DAILY NEWS SPOTLIGHTS THE KENSINGTON WORLD'S FAIR

"With large Bangladeshi, Mexican, Russian and Orthodox Jewish populations, just to name a few, Kensington is one of the most diverse areas of the city. (Daily News, Tuesday, September 14, 2010, page 3)

We can also boast about our Albanian, Polish, Chinese, Irish, Italian, Peruvian, Nicaraguan, Ecuadorian, Argentinian, Guyanese, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Haitian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Pakistani, and other South Asian populations. If we left anyone off this list, we apologize!

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

Next month, our neighborhood's diversity will be celebrated at the Kensington World's Fair.

"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.

We're looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, October 24th (rain or shine), between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., in front of P.S. 230 on Albemarle Road, between McDonald Avenue and Dahill Road.

The Kensington World's Fair is a benefit for the P.S. 230 School Fund.
