Peter & Gracie: The Coombs Neighbourhood Heritage Festival
Description
Send us a text about this episode!
When Peter’s mum starts making borscht from his great-grandmother’s Ukrainian recipe, it sparks the biggest idea Peter has ever had: a Neighbourhood Heritage Festival, right in Coombs! With Gracie trotting beside him, Peter spends two weeks knocking on doors, delivering colourful invitations, and discovering that the families around him carry extraordinary traditions from all over the world — from Ireland, India, Mexico, Japan, Scotland, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Greece.
From Mr. O’Brien’s Irish fiddle and Mrs. Kapoor’s Diwali samosas, to Mr. Johnson’s Coast Salish cedar weaving and Mr. Yamamoto’s origami cranes, the festival fills their field with colour, music, food, and stories. And Gracie — wearing her official “Festival Helper” bandana — is right in the thick of it, greeting every guest, sniffing origami, and even attempting Scottish Gaelic alongside the best of them.
