cultural festival
Traditional community event
A cultural festival is a public celebration organized around the traditions, arts, food, music, or heritage of a particular community or ethnic group.
These events showcase identity and invite participation from outsiders: The Greek cultural festival draws thousands to the church grounds every September.
The term distinguishes heritage-focused celebrations from purely commercial or entertainment-driven festivals.
