The Ethnic Enrichment Commission of Kansas City is hosting the Virtual Festival this year in lieu of the annual Ethnic Enrichment Festival, which brings together over 35,000 people over three days. For the safety of our community and our commissioners, we decided to go virtual this year. At the same time, we want to continue encouraging unity and foster diversity in the Kansas City Metro Area through this unprecedented year. We are so proud of our commissioners and their supporting organizations to donate their time, putting together these performances, and for many of us, learning something new.
