SEALY — From oompah to mariachi, from lederhosen to wide-brimmed hats, the Sealy Multicultural event on May 18 at Levine Park in Sealy brought many cultures together to create unity, understanding, and appreciation.
Attendees were treated to dances, music, and traditional foods from countries such as Mexican, German, Czech, and the U.S.
The free event was enjoyed by all that attended.
Interesting fact: notice how Mexican music sounds like polka music. Polka music from Germanic regions was brought to Mexico by Maximillian, the Austrian Emperor of the Second Empire of Mexico, in the 19th century.
