Ethnic Expo was founded in 1984 as a celebration of Columbus, Indiana’s varied ethnic heritage as well as its current cosmopolitan population. Home to people from all over the world, as well as those with rich cultural traditions, Columbus is proud of its diversity.

The festival spans two full days and features live performances of international music and dancing, ethnic art, and craft demonstrations from a host country. Ethnic Expo is family-friendly and hosts activities specifically for children as well as a parade on Saturday morning for all to enjoy.

India will host the 2019 Ethnic Expo.
