Roots Festival Today!




The Roots Festival is an annual celebration of diversity made possible through the collaboration of the multicultural student groups at Portland State University. On Thursday May 22nd the PSU park blocks will pulsate with local artists, international food vendors, a grand scale community mural, interactive workshops, and musical and dance performances representing all four corners of the globe.

This year’s theme, “Diversity in Politics and Activism”, will inform and inspire community members to embrace civic engagement and a multicultural perspective in political action.

The Roots Festival gives us all a chance to explore our roots by celebrating our differences and recognizing our similarities because in the end, everyone’s roots are intertwined.
