FusionFest happens around Thanksgiving in front of the Dr. Philips Center for the Performing Arts. For this sketch I sat at the end of a long row of international flags. Tents were set up for merchandise and food courts.
Fusion Fest in 2021 is scheduled for November 27th and 28th. The goal of Fusion Fest is to celebrate the people and the many cultures that make Central Florida awesome. It is is a free, two-day, festival that draws people from more than 110 different cultures to experience music, dance, food, visual arts, spoken word, games and interactive activities.
It all began when Sam Roberts of the Caribbean American Passport and Yves Bouele of the African Leaders Council wanted too create some kind of international event. While there are dozens of festivals centered around one heritage or another in our community, we thought, What if we all came together at the same time?
