This family-friendly, free festival has grown in size and hosts Kid’s Zones, hands-on cultural activities and experiences, performer stage, as well as numerous specialty arts and crafts, food, and information vendor booths.
Since 1986 Ethnic Fest has grown to become the largest celebration of culture and community in Tacoma and was voted the best festival of the South Sound. After several years off and after receiving a lot of feedback from the community the event is undergoing a revitalization and re-branding to better fit with the world we live in. In 2022 Ethnic Fest will officially change its name to MOSAIC: Tacoma’s Arts and Culture Festival.
This year MOSAIC takes place Saturday, July 23 ‐ Sunday, July 24 from 12 to 7 pm at its historic home, Wright Park in Tacoma, WA.
