The story

Festival of Cultures in Sioux Falls

The Festival of Cultures brings a full day of world music, dance, and international food to the Levitt Sioux Falls each June, pairing a free outdoor concert lineup with a Global Village where visitors collect stamps in a passport as they move between cultural exhibits from countries including Mexico, Haiti, South Korea, and South Sudan.

The Festival of Cultures has become one of Sioux Falls' clearest annual statements about the diversity of a city that outsiders sometimes assume is culturally homogeneous.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's Global Village concept turns cultural exposure into an interactive activity rather than passive observation, giving attendees a passport to stamp as they visit booths representing distinct countries and communities, alongside performances spanning Burundi drumming, Nepali dance, Colombian guitar, and Latin pop-rock fusion on the same stage in a single day

02

The mystery stays covered

Free admission and a full day of programming, from a 10:30am family concert through a 7pm Parade of Flags into an evening headline act, make it one of the more accessible international cultural events on the Sioux Falls calendar
