One World One Place

Bringing Community Together


The word got around about us – how much enjoyment we offer for the family on one Sunday afternoon in Fall of every year. Now there are several international bazaars/festivals in the area. They are organized by different institutions. We are unique, in the sense that we, the participating nations, ourselves, organize everything. Each nation has equal voice. There is no veto power, no deadlocks nor sanctions. Here at a small-scaled United Nations, decisions are made jointly. Any ethnic group (registered as a non-profit group) can apply to join us.
