Medina International Fest Planned for
August 29, 2009

Full Day of Global Art, Food, Entertainment
 
(Medina, Ohio- March 16, 2009) – Main Street Medina, Cleveland Clinic, and Medina General Hospital are excited to announce plans for the First Annual Medina International Fest for Saturday, August 29, 2009, from 10am to 10pm. The twelve hour event will feature international foods, art, music, and other entertainment, as well as activities for families and a Children’s Parade of Nations. The goal of the celebration is to promote and recognize the rich heritage and cultural diversity of our community, and to encourage social interaction and the enjoyment of family entertainment on the Medina Square.
 
Initial details include a main stage for entertainment on the eastern side of the square, adjacent to Broadway. The southwest corner of the square will house the international welcome center for information as well as a multitude of children and family activities. The eastern half of the square proper will be transformed into an international bazaar, featuring works of art, crafts, merchandise, pottery, fashion, and collectibles from around the globe. Artists, ethnic and cultural interest groups, or churches with a particularly strong ethnic heritage are encouraged to contact Main Street Medina at info@mainstreetmedina.com for vendor registration.
 
A “Taste of Nations” will feature foods from around the world. Local restaurants and other food vendors highlighting ethnic foods are also encouraged to contact Main Street Medina for participation and registration information. The area behind Main Street Café and House of Hunan will be transformed into an international village with a festive atmosphere, featuring international beer, wine, and cheese tastings, along with a smaller stage for entertainment.
