Tuileries Plaza celebrates international cultures with The Elders!

Tuileries Plaza partnered with the Ethnic Enrichment Commission to present a free international celebration. During the afternoon the event sizzled in the sun with international song and dance representing Brazil, Germany, The Republic of China, Samoa, Laos, Scotland, Israel and many more. International craft vendors had booths open throughout the day along with outdoor grilling hosted by Em Chamas Brazilian Grill and ice cream sampling from Hagen Daz.

People began showing in large numbers late in the afternoon in anticipation of the free 2 hour concert from hometown favorites The Elders. Almost 1,200 people fit with lawn chairs on the front lot of the Tuileries to sing and dance with these dynamic entertainers. The luck of the Irish barely held off the rain for the concert that was out just in time for the hundreds of people who attended the Brazilian Carnaval at Em Chamas Brazilian Grill. It was a wonderful summer day and night of food, song and dance from all over the globe.
