The cultural and ethnic diversity of Coral Springs will be on display at the Sportsplex this Saturday at the third annual WorldFest, a festival that is expected to feature a rich variety of entertainment, cuisine and culture.

Former City Commissioner Ted Mena, who heads the festival organizing committee, is hoping for a large turnout. “Normally, we get about 5,000 to 6,000 people. This year, we are hoping to have more.”

“We have an array of entertainers,” Mena said. “It’s a family event, with something in it for everybody. There will be live music, arts and crafts, educational activities, and activities for children. Coral Springs has a diverse population and we want to showcase it.”

The event will feature an hour-long Paso Fino horse exhibition at 1 p.m. “It’s the first time we are having something like that. I’m sure people are going to love what they see.”

Worldfest will take place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. May 2 at the Sportsplex, 2575 Sportsplex Drive. Admission is free, but there will be a parking fee of $3 per car. Call Joyce Campos at 954-344-1005.
