IFest MN, formerly the Festival of Nations, is designed to be an educational cultural experience that gathers over 70 nations and ethnic communities to share food, music, art, dance, traditions, and cultural demonstrations. By engaging with Minnesota’s diverse cultural communities, learners gain a deeper sense of belonging and shared responsibility for shaping our civic future.
