The annual event at the Community Centre had attendees share food, music, games and ideas
On Saturday hundreds gathered at the community centre for the Revelstoke Multicultural Society’s annual event, a Carousel of Nations.
The event celebrates the multi-cultural fabric of our little town by sharing food, culture, games, and ideas.
