It’s a BIG WORLD!
Volunteers and those passionate about specific countries are collaborating to offer attendees a spectacular variety of hands-on experiences!
We have plans to display from India, China, Eastern Europe & Russia, Central America, South America, and Africa. As you navigate through the festival, each country/region will have artisans and/or performers to teach and allow you to try various traditional arts: music, dance, artwork, handcrafting, and more!
Also - learn to play games from other countries, purchase trinkets and candies from our international marketplace, and build your passport photo album as you snap selfies in our photo booths along the way!
