The 2023 Festival of Nations is this weekend at Tower Grove Park (Saturday, the 26th, and Sunday, the 27th). In addition to the many, delicious ethnic foods, market vendors and exhibitors, the festival will feature performances from award-winning artists worldwide. Artists include the Grammy award-winning Indian singer Ricky Kej, Dominican rapper MelyMel, the 2022 Jerusalema South African singer Nomcebo Zikode and our own St. Louis rapper Mvstermind.

The World Trade Center Sister Cities team will facilitate an immersive experience by offering visitors a chance to have their photos taken against backdrop scenes from our Sister Cities. Additionally, we have planned an exciting 360 photo booth experience from 2:00-4:00 pm daily, showcasing both Sister Cities and World Trade Center logos. We will share a booth with the St. Louis Mosaic Project, who will guide attendees through placing pins on a heritage map to encourage sharing personal cultural anecdotes. Thanks to all our volunteers.
