FREEHOLD, N.J.— The 2022 World Diversity Day Children's Festival has been postponed after several people involved contracted COVID. The event, originally scheduled for this Saturday, May 21, will take place on Saturday, Oct. 8, instead. Organizers as well as volunteers, performers and exhibitors contracted the virus, and festival organizers said they apologize for the short notice. "We are concerned about spreading illness to the children and families who attend the festival," said Rick Aaronson, speaking for the World Diversity Day committee. "We look forward to bringing everyone a fun, informative and safe experience in October," he added. The World Diversity Day Children's Festival is a celebration of diverse cultures, abilities and identities. For more information, contact Aaronson at [email protected] or at 732-740-3806.
