WorldFest serves up culinary delights from around the globe [Food & Dining]

One man's attempt to find exciting culinary opportunities at WorldFest on the Belvedere.

I had never been to WorldFest before this past weekend, and I was excited to finally have a chance to attend. I have always been fascinated by cultures other than our own, but most importantly, I have an ardent love of ethnic foods. I am always astounded by people who refuse to try foods whose names they can’t pronounce; these are what I seek out. The excitement of treating your taste buds to food and flavor combinations formerly unimagined is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

WorldFest returns to the Belvedere Labor Day weekend [Food and dining]

Come to the Belvedere this weekend for an immersion in the food, music, and culture of the world around us.

It is my personal opinion that every American should try to visit another country at least once to see firsthand what it is like outside our bubble. Luckily for the many of us who can’t afford plane fare, this weekend sees the return of WorldFest, which takes place downtown on the Belvedere (located just north of the intersection of 5th and Main Streets.)

WorldFest: celebrating diversity in Louisville with the family [Family and parenting]

Louisville's WorldFest--where the family can share a falafel, salsa dance, and paint their hands in henna. A beautiful Louisville tradition that celebrates the city's diversity.

Woven through the tapestry of our humble city, coloring our land-locked valley are countless immigrants that call Louisville home. Often-times we step outside our doors and casually wave to the mono-chromatic neighbors that surround us, but rarely do we have the pleasure of celebrating the beautiful diversity of our city.  Only at my day-job, in the public school system of Jefferson County am I reminded of the cultures that call this area home.
