Mark your calendars for Roanoke’s premier multicultural festival with an international flavor. Now in it’s 34th, the Local Colors Festival features an Opening Ceremony, performances, and dozens of vendor booths representing cultures from around the globe. There will be cuisine, artisan booths, educational and cultural displays, and community partners. The children’s area has fun, interactive activities for youth to learn about different cultures. Plus, the international beer truck will be back! Admission is free.

Vendor space is full. We have a waiting list in case someone drops out. Please read Festival Policies carefully to make sure your booth qualifies. The deadline for performance applications is April 11, 2025. We have room for one or two more performances.
