Irvine festival celebrates food, music and culture

The City of Irvine is celebrating its 24th year of its Global Village Festival this October at Great Park.

Art, music, food and a celebration of the community’s diverse heritage will all be part of the festivities, with all ages welcome to attend.

A world theme, including through marketplace amenities and cuisine, is threaded throughout the festival. Local eats, art and entertainment ties together the celebration with a global scope.

From multicultural traditions to music and dance performances, there’s a variety to choose from on stage and in the food sphere.

Handmade goods are available at the global marketplace, as well as a Junior Makers section with child entrepreneurs.

Traditional dresses, history exhibits and art displays will also be part of the festivities.

There’s also a Kids Village with interactive displays and crafts for children. A Sports and Games Arena also has activities and educational displays about the origins of common sports. A Great Park Balloon and Carousel ride is also available for children.

The festival began in 1988 when a group of residents wanted to create a multicultural celebration.

Festivals like this may choose to use Promotional Products for free giveaways at vendor booths to spread brand awareness or event raffles.

The Irvine Global Village Festival is happening on October 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Great Park at 8000 Great Park Blvd in Irvine.
