Festival of Nations

Tower Grove Park, 4257 Northeast Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130

The International Institute’s Festival of Nations returns to Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, Missouri on August 24–25, 2024.

Save the date and join the community for a celebration of music, flavors, art and culture from around the world!

The Festival of Nations, produced annually by the International Institute of St. Louis, is the region’s largest multicultural event. Since its inception in 1934, this two-day festival, attended by over 100,000 people, has been open to the public and showcases the traditions, flavors, sounds, and art of more than 80 nations.

When people from different cultures come together to share music, food, art, and traditions, we have the opportunity to understand each other on a deeper and more personal level. This creates a sense of unity where every culture is seen as unique and special, and no culture is truly foreign.
