“Think Globally, Act Locally”
Map Centered on 31st & Troost
The Troost Festivals are dedicated to celebrating the diversity of the Troost community.
It is by recognizing our collective cultures and learning to draw out the best and let go of the worst,
a new culture emerges that transcends what any of us could be merely on our own.
We really become “better together.”
