Intercultural event marks its fifth year

MORE than 200 adults and children celebrated different cultures from around the world at a special event held recently.

It was organised by the Sligo Intercultural Forum and the Sligo Family Resource Centre.

The Intercultural Event took place in the Methodist Hall on Wine Street and it was a way for people to celebrate different cultures, music and there were lots of great dishes for people to sample.

The organisers said it was a brilliant occasion for everyone involved.

The cuisine saw dishes from India, Korea, Syria, Nigeria and Zimbabwe being plated up.

There was a real festival atmosphere with a range of music from around the world adding to the occasion. The organisers said adults and children took part in this event with many people attending for the first time.

It was a real celebration with an opportunity in particular of welcoming those people who have moved to Sligo since last St Patrick’s Day.
