The October event is a two-day festival that celebrates the city’s diversity and cultural traditions. The festival, held around Columbus City Hall, is family-friendly and features live performances of international music and dancing, authentic cuisine and bazaar market vendors, along with free children’s activities.

The host country’s food and culture is featured in the host country corner of the festival village and is celebrated with entertainment on the main stage.

Potential host country candidates are asked to submit a proposal. The proposals will be reviewed by the Ethnic Expo Selection Committee to choose the next host country.
