What is the festival about?
Around the World Cultural Food Festival brings together diverse, authentic, living traditions from different countries around the world. Our mission is to preserve and strengthen the culture of each country while presenting it to the public throughout the course of this event and give all the participants a chance to learn from one another and understand the cultural differences and similarities.
Charity
Every year we careful select one or more organizations who support children’s creative abilities and promote educational development in arts and music to donate funds to.
How will it be presented?
With an expected attendance of over 20,000 people, everyone will experience these unique cultural connections through cooking demonstrations, music and dance performances.
Why are we different?
- Around The World Cultural Food Festival is more than a food event ~ it is a Cultural and Educational Experience!!
- With only 1 restaurant per country ~ we are carefully selecting the best of the best for our attendees! The event gives the participating restaurants a chance to present their culinary customs and traditions to the attendees.
- We focus on Culture only! So, you will not experience the overwhelming advertising of brands as seen in other events. Our Sponsors will be able to display their name and brand through a non-aggressive advertising, focused on the educational and cultural component only.
- All of our performers and artists interact with the audience and have 10 to 15 minute dance lessons to teach them their traditional dance moves
