Another season of free programming continues on the RiverStage at the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia’s premier Delaware River waterfront entertainment destination. The 2011 Program Season will showcase an assorted schedule of events including eleven different multicultural festivals that comprise the PECO Multicultural Series. The annual PECO Multicultural Series will begin on May 22nd with the Israel Independence Day Festival and continues throughout the event-filled 2011 summer season, ending on September 11th with the Mexican Independence Day.

The PECO Multicultural Series offers a culturally rich outing with a chance to explore the world without needing to travel. These festivals celebrate the diverse ethnic heritages that make Philadelphia unique.

New to this year’s series is the Southeast Asian Dragon Boat Festival on September 10 from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The festival focuses on understanding the history and appreciating the culture of Southeast Asia while raising support for servicing their community now living here in the Delaware Valley. Your participation will help raise funds and awareness for local Cambodians, Laos, Vietnamese, Thai and other relevant populations in need of accessible, trustworthy, non-profit human service resources here in the Delaware Valley.

Admission is FREE for all PECO Multicultural Series events. KYW Newsradio and NBC 10 are proud media partners of the series. The 2011 PECO Multicultural Series festivals include:
