This year's festival will be on May 13, 2017.
For more details sign up for our newsletter, like us on Facebook, and check back here.
Come and celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of our local
community. The Fourteenth Annual Festival of Cultures will be a day of free
family-friendly fun with all-day entertainment: music, dance, song, and
storytelling. Enjoy hands-on cultural crafts activities, visit cultural
exhibits, food, and artisan vendors. The Festival is a gathering place whose mission it is to create a space where all can meet, share in, and learn about each others' cultures.
Here you can take a passport and "travel the world in Lee Park". The
Festival is organized by the Charlottesville City Schools Adult Learning
Center with the involvement and support of many other individuals and
organizations and provides an opportunity for building bridges of
communication between new Americans and established residents. The
Festival is in Lee Park on Market Street next to Main Branch of the
Library in downtown Charlottesville. This event is FREE and open to the public.
