Jacksonville holds World of Nations Celebration

  • 2022-01-21
For two days at the end of February, Jacksonville will host its annual World of Nation Celebration. Over 75,000 visitors are expected to attend.

North Florida’s leading international festival, this event will offer exhibitions, cuisine and activities from more than 30 non-profit organizations representing countries from around the world. Each participating country will display its flag, have at least one representative speaking its official language, and serve up native cuisine. Most will demonstrate their traditional dances, play customary music and tell stories found in their culture. Costumes, clothing, and artwork will be on display. A “World of Kids Playland” will have activities including arts and crafts.

The event organizers are no doubt involved in banner printing for each country to display information Banners at their booths. Each country will also receive five commemorative event T-Shirts sporting this year’s World of Nation Celebration graphic design. Additional shirts cost $8 each.

Awards will be given in Best Overall Presentation, Cultural Clothing, Cuisine, Education, Entertainment, People’s Choice, Gold and Silver Star (for exceptional participation), and Rising Star (a country that has significantly enhanced its presentation from previous years).

A Parade of Flags will consist of each country’s representative carrying their country’s flag and giving a greeting in their country’s native language as they march through the venue.

World of Nations Celebration will take place at 225 Talleyrand Avenue on February 26 from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on February 27 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Admission will be $5.
