In its seventeenth year, CultureFest is an annual event celebrating the Culture, Heritage, and Diversity of Springfield, Ohio. The festival is presented by the City of Springfield Community Development Department in partnership with the Human Relations Board. It is funded by generous contributions from individuals and businesses throughout the community.

CultureFest is a true example of community. Each year, over 200 people volunteer to assist in CultureFest preparations and presentations. The CultureFest Steering Committee, led by Co-chairs Clara Copeland and Rita Jones begin meeting in October of each year to discuss plans for the upcoming festival. Countless hours of work are donated each year by committee members.

Thousands of visitors dine at the global table and experience the world in one afternoon year after year at this annual celebration. The 2013 Festival is focused on minimizing waste. Please use recycle bins when appropriate. If trash cans, or recycle bins need to be emptied, tell a volunteer. Thank you for spending your day celebrating diversity and doing your part for our environment.

If you would like to learn more about CultureFest planning, would be interested in being a vendor, or would like to be a part of the volunteer corps for 2014, contact the Community Development Department at 937-324-7380 or join the CultureFestSpringfield facebook community.
