According to former Plano Mayor Pat Evans,

“The Festival is a wonderful opportunity to come together in celebration of Plano’s magnificent cultural diversity. This is a great collaboration of many wonderful entities that have given countless time and effort to unite in a community spirit that is inclusive of all cultural groups. It provides a unique forum for us to learn more about our fellow citizens, their culture, lifestyle, and language in a fun, family-oriented way.”

The Festival has a proven track-record of success:

1. Nearly 13,000 people attended in 2010, more than 3 times  the first year’s attendance
2. Over 100 cultural and community groups, organizations and businesses representing more than 60 cultures participate
3. The Festival receives extensive media coverage, including the Dallas Morning News, Al Día, Plano Profile, Plano Star Courier, Plano Insider, neighborsgo, La Estrella, El Hispano News, North Texas Kids, The Epoch Times, Univision Radio, Plano Television Network and KERA.
4. Innovative Zero Waste initiatives implemented in 2008 reduced landfill waste by more than 73%, helping us win the City of Plano’s Environmental Star of Excellence award.
5. In 2011, we are expecting 15,000 attendees.
