The International Festival of Holland returns to the Holland Civic Center Place on Saturday,  September 27, from 4-8 pm. The festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of the cultures  living and working in West Michigan and is hosted by the City of Holland International Relations  Commission. The festival will feature Main Stage performing artists, a Children’s Fiesta with  hands-on art activities, a Mercado (marketplace), and an International Food Court featuring food  from over two dozen countries and regions of the world.  

“Thousands of families and visitors from across West Michigan come to the International  Festival of Holland to learn about our neighbors across the street and around the world,” said Esther Fifelski, Director of the City of Holland Human Relations Department. ”With music,  dance, art, and of course the food and shopping, it’s a great way to celebrate Holland’s global  connections,” Fifelski said.
