2020’s Festival will be held in compliance with the CDC and WHO’s standards
The Clarkston Culture Fest has been an incredible development, sparked in the imaginations of a few people for a community festival, growing to what it is today, an immense celebration of CULTURE. Since Clarkston, Georgia is one of the most culturally diverse communities you’ll ever find, it is a perfect display of what ‘culture’ can be. This festival highlights the differences that exist between us while celebrating our ability to live amongst each other. The idea of ‘culture’ is demonstrated much deeper now at the festival than it was years ago, spreading our view of culture to include art, food, sports, fashion, and even cars to complement the numerous international and local cultures we display yearly in our Culture Village. The planning committee is incredibly dedicated to ensuring that we continue to grow the festival in this way and that we are able to educate, appreciate, and celebrate every person’s unique qualities.
Festival Features:

A continued focus of our festival this year, we will have numerous booths, each highlighting a different culture that is represented in Clarkston.
