Holiday Folk Fair cultural celebration returns to West Allis

WEST ALLIS, Wis. - The Holiday Folk Fair International in West Allis brought together different cultures through dance, food and exhibits Saturday, Nov. 19.

Those who put on the event also said it's a great way to learn about what the area has to offer.

"Maybe your next door neighbor comes from a certain place around the world, and here's the opportunity to sit down and kind of chat about who they are, what their beliefs are, what their values are," said the fair's Alexander Durtka. "Those things are important."
