Wenatchee celebrates Multicultural Community and MLK Junior Day

Over two dozen groups from North Central Washington will display art, food, crafts, and more of their cultural heritage at the City of Wenatchee's Multicultural and Martin Luther King Jr. Festival on Saturday at the Wenatchee Valley Museum.

Mission St. and is free to attend.
