Barren County’s Global Fest celebrates the area’s cultural diversity in many ways, especially with food, song and dance.
This year marks the seventh year for the festival.
“We have Global Fest to bring people together from different cultures,” said Alma Glover, event organizer. “We want to bring them together and we want to educate people regarding the different cultures.”
She hopes people will become educated about the various cultures that exist in the Glasgow-Barren County area and will share their similarities and differences. By learning more about cultures, Glover said, people are less likely to stereotype people.
Headlining the festival will be Curb recording artist Star De Azlan, a performer who sings in Spanish, Italian, English, French and Portuguese. The musical genres in which she sings vary from country to Latin music.
Roger Buchanan, an audio engineer who works with Curb Records and other recording labels, first heard De Azlan perform in San Antonio last year.
“Amazingly enough, this girl not only sings, but she’s an entertainer,” he said. “She has a natural singing gift.”
De Azlan will perform from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Other highlights of the festival include a car show at 10:15 a.m., teen idol contest at 11 a.m., Western Kentucky University’s Tribal Dance and Tango group at 2 p.m., international crafts and games at noon, a pinata burst at 3 p.m. and two performances by the Omega Force Christian Strongmen at 12:30 and 6:15 p.m.
There will also be face painting, a 50/50 drawing, handmade crafts, cultural education exhibits, American and global food and a train ride.
Glasgow High School’s 1968 basketball team coach Jim Richards and cheerleaders will also be recognized during the festival. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the team.
“They were the only team that won the championship,” Glover said. “We just felt like we needed to do something for the team. It was the best basketball team in and around this area.”
Richards, his team and cheerleaders will be recognized from 3 to 4 p.m.
One of several entertainers who will be returning to the festival this year will be the East India Dancers.
“People called and asked when they were going to come back,” said Glover. “They were so cute three years ago.”
