Massachusetts WorldFest<\/strong> is back, and we want you to participate!<\/p>\n

For the second straight year, the MCC and Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) have launched Worldfest<\/em><\/a>, a comprehensive online listing of the rich and diverse array of ethnic and cultural festivals across Massachusetts from June through September. We again plan a summer marketing campaign to drive visitors from across New England to these events.<\/p>\n

Worldfest<\/a> <\/em>includes festivals large and small, in cities and towns from Boston to the Berkshires, from Cape Ann to Cape Cod. The website includes a search engine that allows visitors to search by region, name of event and\/or date.<\/p>\n

Worldfest<\/em><\/a>‘s only criteria are that participating festivals represent communities or groups of communities within Massachusetts that share a common ethnic or artistic heritage or way of life. Massachusetts is home to a host of such groups, ranging from longstanding communities from Native America and Europe to newcomers from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Each of these, and many others, showcase vital cultural traditions through their public fairs and festivals, which deserve recognition and support.<\/p>\n

If you would like your festival to be included, please submit this form<\/a>. These listings are provided at no cost.<\/p>\n

For more information, please contact John Alzapiedi at MOTT: john.alzapiedi@state.ma.us<\/a> or 617-973-8509<\/p>\n
