In an area as diverse as San Joaquin County, there are many opportunities to learn about other cultures and lifestyles. This weekend, the Sikhs take their turn teaching.

The annual Sikh Festival, put on by the Sikh Temple of Stockton, will be Sunday, and organizer Sonny Dhaliwal is excited about the event's ability to raise awareness.

"The goal is basically to outreach to other communities, other religious communities," he said. "It's just about learning something."
