Kaleidoscope Festival

Kaleidoscope Festival is a community event organised by Kaleidoscope Enterprise for the benefit of the people of Welwyn Hatfield and the surrounding areas. The purpose of this one-day event, which next year takes place on Saturday, 7th July 2012 is to provide an opportunity for local people from diverse backgrounds to come together and celebrate the area's rich cultural diversity.

The continued success of the festival is achieved and maintained by having a large variety of information stalls, dance and music, art and craft, food from around the world, activities for children and young people, amongst others.

Kaleidoscope Festival's mission is to be the premier cultural diversity celebration event in Welwyn Hatfield and the neighbouring areas. To achieve this, the festival aims are:

• To bring together the people of Welwyn Hatfield to celebrate the area’s rich cultural diversity
• To contribute towards a community where people from different backgrounds feel they all belong and can come together to celebrate a shared sense of belonging
• To support communication, interactions and engagement between all sections of the community, particularly between local Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) citizens and service providers
• To promote community cohesion and respect between people of different backgrounds by providing a friendly and relaxed opportunity for people to come together and learn from and about each other
• To provide an opportunity for local people to make a positive contribution towards their community by acting as volunteers, exhibitors or performers
