The Festival of Nations is an annual event held in late April/early May in the Saint Paul RiverCentre and is eagerly anticipated every year since its inception in 1932. It is a celebration of cultures from all around the world over one weekend. There is a cafe (food booths), an international bazaar, performances from different cultures, folk art demonstrations, and cultural exhibits. It's an experience for all the senses, and you'll be able to have pierogies, mango lassi, and injera all in one meal while watching a dance from Thailand, see the crowd-pleasing Taiwanese cultural exhibit, and then buy baubles from Norway. There are also 'passports' that are issued which you can take to the cultural exhibits area and use to interact with people at the different exhibits.
