Mercer County officials have announced the return of the annual Mercer County Cultural Festival & Food Truck Rally.
The 14th annual event will take place Saturday, June 6, at Mercer County Park in West Windsor.
“In Mercer County, we understand that our diversity is our strength,” Mercer County Executive Dan Benson said. “During this 250th year of American Independence, we’re proud to bring our community together again to celebrate the people and cultures from every part of the world who have come together through every step of our history, and made Mercer County, and our nation, the vibrant and incredible place that we know today.”
The festival celebrates the county’s cultural diversity with live music, traditional dance performances, food trucks, a beer garden, art demonstrations, heritage crafters and activities for children.
Organizers are inviting vendors, performers and community organizations to apply to participate in the event.
Applications are now open for craft vendors selling culture- or heritage-related goods and for food trucks and other food vendors. Businesses and nonprofit organizations may also apply for space to share information about their work.
Applications for vendors and organizations are available at forms.office.com/g/HHz7JUVrre.
Musicians and dance groups interested in performing may apply at forms.office.com/g/YzDvPN99zc.
All applications must be submitted by April 3.
Because of the growing popularity of the Cultural Festival, Mercer County officials said a cap has been placed on the number of vendors and performers who can participate.
Applications will be reviewed to select a lineup representing a wide range of cultures. Those selected to participate will be notified by April 10, and payments will be processed after the lineup is finalized.
