The festival aims to foster inclusivity and understanding among the diverse populations of Kent and the surrounding areas.

Attendees can enjoy performances on both indoor and outdoor stages, featuring music and dance from various cultures.

The International Taste of Kent Food Court will offer a variety of global cuisines from local food trucks and pop-up booths. Inside the ShoWare Center, cultural “Passport” booths will provide interactive activities and information about different countries and cultures.

Additional attractions include art and STEM activities, such as bookmark-making and robotics demonstrations, as well as exhibits showcasing student artwork and refugee stories from the “We Are America” book project.
