The International Festival is a weekend event taking place on Saturday, November 7th and Sunday, November 8th,
2016. It will be held outside and with up to 5 different nationalities represented in a different area of the shopping
center, with the promenade area being the center of the event. Guests will visit each area of the festival and sample
the culture throughout the day. Each culture will be represented with food, drinks, music, merchandise and
entertainment. There will be an emphasis on family friendly activities, so all ages will enjoy the event. Fort Bliss is a
diverse installation with many different ethnicities represented. Further, El Paso also has many different nationalities
amongst its population yet aside from a small Greek festival in late summer and Oktoberfest in September; there are
no events to celebrate that diversity and this event would fill that void with a large scale outdoor celebration.
