A CELEBRATION OF
Culture, Community, & Connection
Formerly known as the Festival of Nations, The International Festival of Minnesota (IFest-MN) gathers over 70 nations and ethnic communities to share food, music, art, dance, traditions, and cultural demonstrations. With an expected 25,000 attendees, including 7,000 youth, IFest offers a hands-on, heart-opening experience that fosters understanding across generations and provides a deeper understanding of each other’s heritage.
IMAGINE IF…
IF we shared stories through dance,
IF we tasted the world in one place,
IF we celebrated what makes us unique—and what connects us all.
An invitation to come together as neighbors, as learners, as proud contributors to a diverse and ever-evolving American story. IFest-MN honors the past, celebrates the present, and builds the future—together.
