October 19, 2006 Multicultural Halloween at Wright State features worldwide fall celebrations Halloween in America means pumpkins, costumes, goblins, candy and trick or treat.

The celebration will include free ethnic foods from around the world, a costume contest for children and adults, cultural displays, arts and crafts, face painting, balloon sculpture and clowns. Music and dance will be performed from Scotland, France, the Caribbean, Japan, Tahiti, China, Africa, Lebanon and the United States. “This event will feature great food and a huge variety of outstanding entertainment like the Red Panda Acrobats, Tahitian dancers and world famous Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band,” said Wright State student Mike George, chair of the event. “We encourage the Dayton community to attend and experience the excitement that this international diversity celebration represents.” Tickets, available at the door, are $5 for the general public and $2 for children 12 and under.
