Roanoke's largest, FREE multicultural festival celebrates 35 years, giving space to the many ethnic cultures from around the globe represented in the Roanoke Valley! The festival opens with a Parade of Nations where residents proudly display their flags of their heritage and cultural dress. After that is an afternoon full of global diversity to enjoy. Taste the dishes of many international cuisines, watch vivid dance and music performances, learn about different cultures from several exhibits, purchase vendor goods representing different cultures, and drink an international beer. Kids can create international crafts in our children's activity area and explore fun facts about different country through the Passport Program.
