Unity in Hope” multicultural festival debuts on Nov. 7 and 8
This Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. will be the premiere of parts one and two of “Unity in Hope,” the video version of the city's annual Renton Multicultural Festival. The videos will be available on both Channel 21 in Renton and on the city's YouTube channel.
COVID-19 prevented the city from hosting a live event for the fifth consecutive year. But through the Mayor's Inclusion Task Force and many community members' combined efforts, we have created two-hour videos highlighting Renton's diverse culture.
There are almost 30 performers, some familiar acts and some new performers. They encompass music, dance and spoken word.
We also will feature some of the best restaurants and hotels in our city and finish with a grand international fashion show. There is also a music video featuring some well-known faces inside and outside of city hall.
We are proud of Renton’s status as one of the most diverse cities in our America. This festival stands as a celebration of our diversity.
