Throughout the world holidays and festivals play a major role in our lives. Each culture is rich with traditional celebrations. The diversity of this country enables us to participate in many of these activities and learn from those who are different from ourselves. We have compiled a small listing of resources that have descriptions of these holidays, calendar listings, and how you can join in the affirmation of these multicultural experiences.
