Spotlighting P.A.’s diversity at Tapestrama 2016
The sounds of the Tapestrama Cultural Festival once again filled the halls of Plaza 88 over the weekend.
Diverse acts such as the Riverside Jigging Club and Celtic band Circling Over Shannon entertained crowds and highlighted Prince Albert’s diversity.
“Prince Albert’s always been a very diverse place, it’s changing quickly and (Tapestrama) is a great chance to showcase the diversity and also introduce newcomers to P.A.” organizer Shayne Lazarowich said.
He said they don’t have any Syrian acts on the program yet, representing the many Syrian refugees who have arrived in P.A., but he said he did see many Syrian newcomers attend Tapestrama over the two days.
