2 September: “Welkom in Maastricht” Festival for newcomers

Excerpt from our feature article: Maastricht Mondiaal presents… United Colors of Maastricht:

The “Welcome in Maastricht” festival that will take place on 2 September 2006 at Plein 1992 near Centre Céramique.

Every newcomer is invited to enjoy world music and attend the millennium market where NGO’s and independent organisations will get a chance to present themselves to the public.

One of the many interesting features of the day is a fashion show that will unite Moroccan traditional clothing with designs by students of the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts.

The programme of activities will include salsa and tango workshops and a special basketball match between famous Maastricht citizens and representatives of several local NGO’s.

To make everybody feel at home, art has been chosen as a unifying topic. There will be an art market where artists from many nations will exhibit their work.

See you there!
