The 14th Annual Multicultural Festival in Oxnard CA

Saturday, October 3, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The familiar, overcast skies of Oxnard did not stop crowds from attending the 14th Annual Multicultural Festival. The gray skies and light drizzle provided but a comfortable relief from the sun for all those who came to celebrate diversity and respect.

Amadeus LST attended the Multicultural Festival and delighted in all the vendors of various arts and crafts, the music and the food vendors; in particular, the funnel cakes.

Our visit to the festival was brief as the rain clouds produced a sudden spike in calls for taxicabs. All available drivers and dispatchers had to leave the festival and rush back to Amadeus Headquarters to successfully provide the services requested.
