Partnership. Innovation. Celebratory Experience & Education.

We see how festivals that celebrate cultural awareness are making a lasting and direct impact in Asheville, Hendersonville and throughout western North Carolina. We’d like to share the big picture and the details of those facts with you. Come learn how the arts are transforming our communities, and our fellow citizens, for the better.

The following International Festivals celebrate cultural diversity with related educational and outreach activities. Our signature events boldly propel economic growth through brand partnerships and creative community development while celebrating cultural awareness.
