Fall Multicultural Festival Debuts in Bonita

Danza Azteca

The first annual Fall Multicultural Festival will take place from noon to 5 p.m., October 29, in Bonita Springs. This alcohol-free family event, co-sponsored by Eyes Wide Open, Wynn Properties and For Goodness Sake Organic Markets, will offer healthy ethnic food and a health fair, artists’ displays, live music, dancing and entertainment for children.

An offspring of the former Collier County Latin American Festival held at the Golden Gate Community Center, this event will feature approximately 30 vendors and sponsors showcasing products and services to improve health and well-being.

A highlight will be the presentation of Danza Azteca Cristo Rey, a celebration of the integration of pre-Columbian and Christian rituals as they evolved over centuries in Mexico. House of Gaia will host an authentic costume Instagram photo booth and offer face painting and props. In addition, Lee County Department of Health, Bonita Springs Lions Club and Debbie Post, of Wellbridges, will provide free health screenings. Children can attend dressed in Halloween costumes and receive treats from vendors.


Admission is free. Location: parking lot behind building at 9240 Bonita Beach Rd. For more information, call 239-948-9444 or visit EyesWideOpenCenter.com/product/fallfest.
