The Westman Multicultural Festival returns for its 17th year to celebrate countries and cultures from across the world.

The festival will be held at various venues in Brandon from Feb. 5-7, according to its website. The festival features cultural celebrations, traditional cuisine and performances at 11 pavilions.

Colombia, Nigeria, Palestine and the Hispanic Association of Manitoba were new to the festival last year and will be coming back again, the website said.

There will also be pavilions for El Salvador, Mexico, Philippines, Scotland and Ukraine, as well as for the Métis people.

Admission to all the pavilions is free, but food, drinks, merchandise and souvenirs are an extra cost.

Capacity is limited at each pavilion and people are encouraged to dress for the weather as they may have to wait in line outside during peak hours.
