Around the World in 3 Days

I love Mosaic. In Regina, Mosaic is a 3 day festival where all the cultural groups in the city make up pavilions at various different locations to showcase their food, drink, entertainment, and culture. You get a “passport” with all the different pavilions listed and then you drive (or take the free bus) to each location and party it up.
This year was Isla’s first time at Mosaic and it went really well. I was worried that the music would be a little loud for her (and we did have a few tears) but overall she was very happy. We ended up getting to about 10 different pavilions over the 3 days which is a success even without having a baby to tow along. My favourite pavilions are the Austrian for the overall experience, the Scottish for the entertainment (Isla was a fantastic table drummer while the pipe bands were playing), and the Poltava Ukrainian for the dancing. We also went to the Laos pavilion this year which was a first for me and thoroughly enjoyed the food.

If you’re ever in Regina, I would definitely recommend checking out this family friendly festival. Every year just gets better.
