The Union

With the advent of the European Union and the euro, isn’t it about time America catches up with the geo-political trends beating on our borders? In other words, in this time of globalization, aren’t we poised to embrace a little togetherness already? But on the other hand, isn’t there a fine balance between unity and homogenization? The global eventually affects the local, and the Colorado European Festival is the prime place to celebrate our neighbors across the pond. “It’s like a cultural program for Americans,” says media contact Lidia Widgery. “This festival brings ten to twelve European countries together. Every year you have the Polish festival, the Hungarian festival, the German festival, but we will bring everyone together. It’s like a union.”
