The city of Norwalk is preparing for the annual NICE Festival.
The Norwalk International Culture Exchange says the goal is to increase awareness of diversity in people from around the world through arts and culture.
"It was just a day that was filled with cultural experiences from multiple traditions and customs," founder and executive director of NICE Janet Evelyn says. "It engages, it inspires, it unifies, and it builds strong community. That's what we saw this past July and the first year and that's what we want to continue to do."
Thousands of people are expected to attend the third annual NICE Festival in July 2018.
