The Last Saturday in September each year, beautiful Fountain Square Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky becomes an International Paradise of nationalities coming together to proudly share their unique cultures. The festival is a traditional celebration that honors the heritage and diversity among our residents through:

  • Music
  • Dance and Performance
  • Exhibits
  • Demonstrations
  • Authentic Foods
  • Merchandise Vendors
Children are a major part of the Bowling Green International Festival. Though many of our activities are recreational and all are fun, the focus is on education and cultural enrichment. Children will become acquainted with the customs of their counterparts in far away lands through playing their games, adorning their traditional costumes and experiencing how they celebrate.
  • Activities
  • Contests
  • Storytellers
  • Workshops
  • Cultural Display - Passport Program

The Bowling Green International Festival is made possible by our sponsors and volunteers.

Anyone is welcome to become involved with the planning of the festival by attending our monthly Community Planning Meetings detailed in the volunteer section.
