Whats so special about Clarkston?
Clarkston is the most culturally diverse city in Georgia. We have people form over 60 countries living here and they speak over 100 languages. Our goal is to showcase Clarkstons unique and rich cultural experience with a 2 day festival celebrating Music , art and food.
We hope our event will create a special diverse, cultural celebration that allows everyone to experience the richness of the many cultures living in the Clarkston Community – all of whom are respected voices in the community. Some have been associated with Clarkston for as long as twenty years. A small town in Georgia becomes an international hub.
Longtime residents make a stable and safe community. Clarkston is fortunate to have many long time residents who have made Clarkston their home for 40 -50 years or more. These are the folks that have supported and built Clarkston for decades and we want to celebrate them too. Blending these groups can be a challenge but we are committed to creating a strong and healthy city for all it’s residents. The festival is just one step in making this goal come true.
With your help we can make this the annual premier international music, art and food festival in the Atlanta Metro area for years to come.
A small town with an International Flavor and Cultural Diversity
During this two day event, we intend to put the diversity spotlight on our city culture. This shining light will show off our American, multi-cultural, ethnic and artisan community residents. It will be an all inclusive community festival anchored by over 60 different cultural groups and the city nonprofits – many who serve refugees from all over the world. The festival will continue to shine a light on the City of Clarkston after the event.
