Cambria City Ethnic Fest celebrates Johnstown's roots

The Cambria City Ethnic Festival is back for another weekend of community fun.

This 3-day festival beings Friday and features 13 live musical acts, as well as traditional ethnic foods, music, and dance.

This free event aims to celebrate and pay homage to our city and its beginnings by bringing together families and friends to share in Johnstown’s rich history while engaging with the different cultures that make up our community.

“It’s a real opportunity for us to come together," said Melody Tisinger, Director of Advancement & Operations at Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center. "To see our loved ones and to remember how important togetherness, community and collaboration is. Everyone has had a different journey in these past couple of years and so I think this gives us an opportunity to come together again and remember why we are family. Remember why the town is great and also just to celebrate."

The event will also feature The Positive Painting Project which everyone can participate in by making a sign of hope to de-stigmatize how we talk about mental health.
