Our Mission:

The International Festival strives to celebrate the diversity of Harrisonburg and the surrounding communities by providing a friendly forum in which cultural groups can showcase their cultural and linguistic values as a means to educate the larger community and to support awareness for their presence and contribution.

About the Festival:

The Harrisonburg International Festival is a very special event that celebrates this area's rich cultural and language diversity.  One of Harrisonburg’s largest annual attractions, the festival draws more than 9,000 people every year from the Shenandoah Valley as well as areas such as Baltimore and DC.  This family-friendly event is free, with plenty of food and crafts available for purchase, and activities for visitors of all ages.

Share this with your friends, include it in your travel plans, and enjoy the other events taking place the week of the Festival in Harrisonburg.  Your hearts will be re-energized with the love and hospitality you will find in this beautiful city!
