Celebrating Diversity at Monterey's Annual Language Capital of the World Festival

By MC3 Brian H. Abel

NPS student Lt. Cmdr. Colleen McDonald explains how drones operate during the 2nd Annual Language Capital of the World Cultural Festival at the Custom House Plaza in downtown Monterey, May 14. The event serves to highlight Monterey's rich, diverse international culture through music, dance, food and celebration.

"We're here with international students to educate the public on the vast capabilities of the military and NPS." said McDonald. "Many people are very interested in technology and how NPS ties into the area."

Drones were a major attraction at this year's festival. McDonald enjoyed sharing her experiences working with them for the Navy.

"Everyone was very impressed … they enjoyed being able to touch the drones," said McDonald. "Most [people] only hear about them on the news."

The event also featured American, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Middle Eastern cuisine and a wide array of performances to include, Filipino, Spanish and Pakistani folk dancers.
