multiculture
Many traditions together
Multiculture refers to a society or environment where multiple cultural groups coexist: The city's multiculture is reflected in its neighborhoods and restaurants.
The word is less common than its adjective form multicultural, which describes diverse cultural presence or policies promoting it.
Multiculture can also name the condition itself—the state of being culturally varied.
