International expo at King Center will bring the world to you for free

Around the world in 80 days? Who has time for that?

All you need is an afternoon to visit all seven continents. On August 10, the King Center will transform into a multicultural site with the Beloved Community International Expo.

The expo "will celebrate diverse cultures with music, dance and costumes from around the world," it according to Eventbrite, where you can register to attend.

The expo is free to attend open to all ages, with a kids zone sponsored by the National Park Service to keep the youngsters entertained. You can experience the food, religion, culture and more of countries from all seven continents — and don’t forget to register for prizes.
