Dunedin's annual Diversity Week unity breakfast kicks off a year's worth of diverse events that unify various cultures.

The unity breakfast is Saturday, 8:30 a.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr Recreation Center. It includes free pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and fruit, organizer Greg Svendgard, city athletics coordinator, said.

During breakfast, participants will hear from keynote speaker Randy Lighfoot, a professor from St. Pete College, and the student winners of the Diversity Week essay contest.

After breakfast (10 a.m.), everyone marches to Pioneer Park to watch lively performances from area churches and students.
