ethnic festival

Heritage community gathering

An ethnic festival is a public celebration showcasing the culture, food, music, and traditions of a particular ethnic group or nationality.

Cities with diverse populations often host these events: Greek festivals, Italian festivals, Oktoberfest celebrations.

We hit three ethnic festivals this summer—Polish, Vietnamese, and Caribbean.

They typically feature traditional costumes, folk dancing, and cuisine that draws crowds beyond the community being celebrated.
