Welcome to Theinternationalfestival.org!

 For more than three decades, The International Festival Organization has been dedicated to promoting cross-cultural respect, understanding, and unity through authentic festivals, cultural events, history, and art in Raleigh and the Triangle. As the founder and producer of Raleigh’s International Food Festival for more than 11 years, along with naturalization ceremonies, the 35-year legacy International Festival, the International Wine & Beer Festival, and multiple international fundraisers, our organization has built a trusted platform that uplifts more than 50 cultural groups and community partners. Through our nonprofit work at theinternationalfestival.org, we create meaningful opportunities for communities to share their traditions, cuisine, music, and stories—bringing together global cultures in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Our signature events are recognized for their integrity, authenticity, and long-standing commitment to cultural education and community connection. When you attend our festivals, you are supporting the original and most established international cultural celebrations in our region.
