The City of Holland’s International Relations Commission (IRC) will host its first International Festival.
The festival will be held in conjunction with the rededication of the Queretaro Fountain donated by our sister city, Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico. This one-day event will feature dancers, musicians, storytellers, and visual artists representing the peoples and cultures of Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia as well as Central, South, and North America. Artists interested in performing may apply online now. Festival events will be held at the newly rennovated Civic Center Plance, at Kollen Park, and at various downtown locations.

Previous IRC multicultural festivals have attracted more than 800 people, and we expect the International Festival to draw an even larger crowd from all along the lakeshore. This is a great opportunity for local businesses to show their support of community programs that connect Holland residents with cultures from across the globe. Information regarding SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNTIES is available below.

We look forward with sharing more exciting news about the 2019 International Festival in the coming months.
