The inaugural We Are Anchorage Multicultural Festival was held in Town Square Park in downtown Anchorage on July 27. With a motto of “Stronger Together,” the goal of the festival was to celebrate Anchorage’s diversity and showcase different cultures.
Throughout the afternoon, performances took place on two stages, and Plain White T’s performed as the festival’s headliners. A variety of local vendors and food trucks offered items and meals for sale. The festival was hosted by Erickson Unlimited with support from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, and the Municipality of Anchorage’s Office of Equity and Inclusion. It was free for all to attend.
