COLUMBUS, Ind. – The City of Columbus presents the 40th Ethnic Expo this Friday and Saturday, October 10 and 11, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day in downtown Columbus.
Last year marked the 40th anniversary of Ethnic Expo, and this year is the 40th event of this tradition. Continuing the theme of “Celebrating Our 40s,” Ethnic Expo 2025 will highlight countries and cultures from around the world in the two-day festival filled with food, music, dance, art, and cultural exchange.
In 2024, the Expo drew nearly 30,000 attendees, and the City expects even more guests this year. Visitors can explore an eclectic mix of global cuisine, vendors featuring market items from all over the world, live performances, and art that celebrates the diverse community of Columbus and beyond.
“Ethnic Expo is more than a festival, it’s an amazing celebration of who we are as a community,” stated Jody Coffman, Communications and Events Coordinator for the City of Columbus. “It brings people together through culture, food, and connection.”
First Financial Bank continues to be the festival’s Presenting Sponsor, and the bank’s investment keeps the event free and open to the public, ensuring access for all members of the community.
