Wines and food from around the world are on the menu during Parade of Nations Week this year. The 26th annual Parade of Nations and Multicultural Festival are on Saturday, Sept. 19, and the Hancock Rotary Club is sponsoring its second annual fall wine tasting event on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock.
Wines from France, Italy and Argentina, as well as a Michigan wine and a Michigan ale, will be paired with cuisine from those countries. The Michigan ale is Dragon’s Milk, a fitting choice for the Parade of Nations 2015 theme: World of Lore and Legends.
The wine tasting benefits the Hancock Rotary’s local and international programs and celebrates the international character of the local community.
The Parade of Nations begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19, making its way from Hancock across the Portage Lake Lift Bridge to Houghton’s Dee Stadium, where a Multicultural Festival will feature authentic foods for sale representing nearly 20 nations and a variety of crafts booths. Admission to the Dee is free.
