International Festival of Minnesota - IFest

Overview

Formerly known as the Festival of Nations, IFest-MN marks a bold new chapter as an independent nonprofit organization. With an expected 20,000 attendees, including 7,000 students, the festival will offer immersive experiences in global cuisine, music, dance, artisan crafts, storytelling, and cultural demonstrations. From hands-on activities to dynamic performances, IFest-MN is designed to spark joy, foster understanding, and honor the rich heritage woven into our communities.

IFest-MN is an invitation to reconnect, rediscover, and reimagine. It’s a space where elders, youth, families, and neighbors gather—not just to witness culture, but to live it.
