Each year, on the 3rd Saturday of August, First Presbyterian Church hosts the Owensboro Multicultural Festival on our front lawn at 1328 Griffith Avenue. Our 14th annual Owensboro Multicultural Festival will occur August 18, 2012, and is free for the whole community. We hope to foster understanding and respect for our similarities and differences so that we may build a stronger community. Come celebrate the diverse culture of Owensboro!
