New College Celebrates Cultural Heritage on April 5

New College of Florida will host the “2nd Annual New College Culture Fest and Art Show” on April 5 from 12:00 pm until 6:00 pm on the College Green, also known as Z Green, on the New College East Campus.

The community is invited to set up a table to display, share and/or sell cultural items at the festival.
