The City of South Bend and Venues Parks & Arts is bringing back Fusion Fest for its second year on Saturday, September 14 from 11am-8pm and Sunday, September 15 from 11am-5pm at Howard Park.
The two-day festival will be filled with food vendors, music, demonstrations, and artisans from every region of the world. Fusion Fest will take over the entirety of Howard Park and surrounding streets and will be separated into global regions with stages and vendors located at each corresponding region: North America/South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia/Australia.
Fusion Fest attendees will enjoy traditional music and dance performances and learn more about cultures outside of their own by participating in hands-on activities and workshops. The festival will reflect the vibrant and diverse community that makes South Bend such a special place.
Vendors, artisans, and performers who are passionate about sharing their culture through food, art, storytelling, music, dance, and more can apply by visiting sbfusionfest.com. The deadline to apply is 11:59pm on July 19.
