Share about this historic event and join us for a wonderful celebration to promote people everywhere to come together and share in the cultural experience at the event and to celebrate a great year through this event and a cleaner and “Greener Tomorrow”. “Events like this are essential. We just want all the cultures and ethnic groups to be one family where everyone will be brothers, sisters, and support each other. There is so much talent that we can share and enrich each other with. Sacramento is a great mecca where all aspects of culture, family, and talent can come together.”
