Conga4All is a student-led nonprofit based in Greenwich CT breaking conga-line world records to raise money for charity. Through their initiatives, they’ve raised over $15k through donations, have been featured in 15+ news outlets (including NPR!), and partnered with 10+ local business and community based organizations. They break boundaries in areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion, one conga-line at a time.
Their event, called Conga4Diversity, aims to promote diversity in Fairfield County and support cultural education nonprofits in the Norwalk, CT area by breaking the world record for “most nationalities in a conga-line”. The conga-line will aim to feature upwards of 50 community participants from various backgrounds and countries to celebrate the diversity of Fairfield county. Funds raised from this event will go towards NICE and Creative Connections to support initiatives educating our residents about other cultures.
Everyone is invited to the festival to volunteer, participate, and support Conga4Diversity, especially those from different countries.
This event will occur on Saturday, July 6th 2024 from 11am – 10pm at the 8th Annual NICE Festival in Oyster Shell Park, Norwalk, CT.. The festival has two stages where live music will be playing. The Children of the World stage will run in the morning and the Main Stage (Adults) ramps up in the evening. The conga line will occur in two sessions, one in the morning/afternoon, and one in the afternoon/evening.
In addition to the conga-line event, the NICE Festival will feature bands from various countries and genres; ethnic dance performances; food and arts & crafts vendors; and other cultural activities for all ages to enjoy. This entire festival will be FREE TO ATTEND for everyone. Please register here.
