Holiday Folk Fair International

Step into a celebration of world cultures at this three-day festival featuring music, dance, food, and arts from dozens of communities. You'll find traditional performances at the All Nations Theater, sample dishes from around the globe at the World Cafe, and watch local chefs prepare authentic cuisine on the Chef's Stage. The Tanzhaus invites families to dance and sing along with different musical styles, while the International Bazaar offers unique cultural artifacts and crafts to browse. Younger visitors have their own dedicated Children's Area to explore heritage traditions, and Heritage Lane features interactive exhibits showcasing customs from various cultures. For a quieter moment, the Coffee House provides beverages and baked goods alongside live musical performances. Admission supports the International Institute of Wisconsin's nonprofit cultural education and community programs serving southeastern Wisconsin. The festival runs Friday through Sunday at State Fair Park's Exposition Center, with extended hours on Saturday to accommodate family schedules.
