BG International Festival

Celebration of cultural diversity for the family

About Me

The BG International Festival grew out of the Ethnic Folk Festival and Japan Fest in the early 80s. It takes place the last Saturday each September in Fountain Square Park in Bowling Green Kentucky.

Today the festival has grown to feature three stages, in the park performances and over 70 booths which feature cultural displays, authentic foreign foods and international merchandise.
