On Saturday, Sept. 10, residents of Elmont will gather to celebrate Elmont Diversity Day at the Dutch Broadway Park at Dutch Broadway and Ridge Road. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the multi-ethnic community will participate in games, entertainment, field sports, health screenings and refreshments sponsored by the Elmont Community Awareness Program (ECAP).

This event will highlight the many ethnic groups residing in Elmont, the gateway to Nassau, and serve as a bridge for residents to get to know each other better. There will be cultural information tents.

At 3 p.m., a formal ceremony will feature Elmont war veterans. At that time, prizes will be awarded and special guests will be introduced. Throughout the day, there will be music and other entertainment for all ages.

The Nassau County Police Department and the Elmont Volunteer Fire Department will participate with special units.

In addition to free light refreshments, radio stations, live entertainment, food vendors will be available. In case of inclement weather, the activity will be relocated to the adjacent Elmont Memorial High School cafeteria.
