The Multicultural Festival begins on Thursday with The Junction Speaks from 6pm to 8pm.

Since 2013, the event has revealed and preserved the rich multicultural oral histories of the families that created a tight-knit community integrated because of humanity, not desegregation legislation. A rich evening history through storytelling, slideshows, presentations, video and open mic.

Five families will be honored in 2026. Thank you to our Junction Speaks sponsor, the Val Air Ballroom.
