2023 Quad Cities World Cup & Multi-Cultural Festival
In a press release, QCAIR and QC Interfaith are excited to announce the second annual Quad Cities Multi-Cultural Festival and Quad Cities World Cup.
This two-pronged event features both a ‘world cup’ themed soccer tournament where local country-representative teams can compete for prizes, and a multi-cultural festival complete with vendors of food, art, and more plus a stage featuring local performers showcasing their cultures.
