The weather is expected to be absolutely stunning on Saturday for the Fourth Annual Plano International Festival in Downtown Plano’s Haggard Park. Showcasing the sights, sounds and tastes of more than 60 cultures, the Plano International Festival celebrates the vivid diversity that makes up the City of Plano.
The festival will begin at 11 a.m. with a Parade of Nations, where nearly 100 students from the Plano Independent School District carry flags from around the world.
Mayor Pat Evans will give opening remarks followed by a keynote speech from Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Harry LaRosiliere. State Senator Florence Shapiro will later lead the new citizens in reciting their first Pledge of Allegiance in a naturalization ceremony, welcoming and granting U.S. citizenship to 75 people.
