✨TOMORROW!✨
Amazing performances will headline DiverCity Festival 2024!
This is a rolling schedule - so be sure to come early to ensure you see the acts you want to see! 💃🏻

The DiverCity Festival is organized with three pillars in mind: To EDUCATE, to EMBRACE, and to CELEBRATE the diverse cultures in Central Kentucky.

This year, students from the University of Kentucky's Multimedia Storytelling for Tourism course embodied our 'EDUCATE' pillar when they volunteered to create video projects that would highlight a few cultural groups who participate in our festival. This project provided a learning opportunity for the students and a platform for the participating cultures. This embodies our mission.

We are so excited to share these unique learning experiences with you. We also invite you and your family to join us on Saturday from 12-7 in downtown Lexington to learn more.

Enjoy these student projects and short educational experiences. We are grateful to the students and professors for their hard work and willingness to join our mission to educate, embrace, and celebrate diverse culture.

See you Saturday!

The full FOOD & DRINK vendor list is here 😋 20+ options for food, drink, snacks, and take home treats!
