More than a festival, CELEBRATE CommUNITY is a reminder of what happens when people come together to share experiences and strengthen the bonds that make a community thrive.

****

The 17th annual CELEBRATE commUNITY event, sponsored by United for Diversity, is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds Expo Center. It will be an exciting day of cultural immersion. Adults and children alike will have opportunities to interact with others at over 50 booths that represent different countries, religions, and community organizations showcasing a beautiful spectrum of diversity.

From Noon until 3:00 pm, many booths will serve free ethnic food samples, while others will be selling their ethnic wares and artifacts. Families can partake in barrier-breaking games, crafts, and activities that will continue throughout the day to make the message personal and effective. Being shoulder-to-shoulder and eye-to-eye will result in a long-lived positive experience for all who participate.

Doors open at 10:30 am. The event kicks off at 11 am with an awe-inspiring Flag Ceremony, drummed in by our Native American elders. Guests will be welcomed by our City and County officials before the live multicultural entertainment kicks off from Noon until 3:00 pm.

Entertainment:
Billy Mitchell Pipes & Drums
Bread of Life Musical Ensemble
Caledonian Scottish Dancers
Chegwin Hmong Dancers
Dnipro Ukrainian Dance Ensemble
Gordon Williams and the Gii Taa'se Singers, Dancers, and Drummers
UW-Oshkosh Japanese Taiko Drummers

It is United for Diversity's greatest hope that CELEBRATE commUNITY reaches more people in more neighborhoods and that our community grows in respect, understanding, and appreciation for all that live in it. The mobility of society often distances people from their roots. At CELEBRATE commUNITY, we aim to educate all generations about their heritage, while celebrating the heritage, cultures, and traditions of others.

Now is the time to CELEBRATE all that makes us diverse and for our community to join in UNITY.

About the Speaker

Sister Dianne served as President of Catholic Biblical Association of America (2000-2001) and as the Rev. Robert J. Randall Distinguished Professor of Christian Culture, Providence College, Providence, RI (2009-2010). She was awarded honorary doctorates from the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University, CA (2013), Marian University, Fond du Lac, WI (2014), and the Catholic University of Australia, Melbourne, Victoria (2015). She was an active member of the Chicago Catholic/Jewish Scholars Dialogue (1988-2017), a member of the Board of Trustees, Sacred Heart School of Theology (1983-1989), and of St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee, WI (1996-2005). She sat on the editorial boards of The Bible Today (1979-2005), Biblical Theology Bulletin (1990-2014), Catholic Biblical Quarterly (1992-2001), New Theology Review (1997-2003), Teaching Theology and Religion (2003-2005), and Chicago Studies (2003-2009).

Sisters & Seekers is based on a national program called Nuns & Nones. Our purpose is to come together as women from diverse spiritual backgrounds and belief systems to reflect on the deeper meaning and spiritual questions of our lives in a world that is chaotic, polarized, and fear-driven.

Sisters & Seekers gatherings follow these guiding principles:

• Create safe places for relationship, dialogue, inquiry, and spiritual practice that can inform personal social action.
• Welcome mutual learning and pluralistic thought- not persuasion of belief
• Aim to root oneself in a personal spiritual foundation that can bring forth a more just and loving world, no longer dependent on systems of extraction and oppression.
• At best, grows into a supportive, welcoming and committed community
• Led by a Guiding Committee composed of two capable Sisters and two Seekers
