12th annual Celebration of Nations to return to downtown Rolla this fall

Plans are underway for Missouri University of Science and Technology’s 12th annual Celebration of Nations to return to downtown Rolla this fall. The event, a partnership between Missouri S&T and the city of Rolla, will showcase and recognize the cultural diversity of Missouri S&T and the region. The event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, September 25th. Plans include a parade starting at 11 a.m., followed by a cultural festival. Celebration of Nations is a family-friendly event with no entrance fee. Attendees can spend the afternoon watching the Celebrate Talent showcase and learning about other cultures by visiting a variety of food, craft and educational vendors. The annual event did not take place last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
