The Global Roots Festival is bringing the energy, color, and connection back to our community on April 25, 2026, and you won’t want to miss it.
Inspired by Grand Island’s historic Ethnic Festival, first launched in 1991, this one-day celebration honors the cultures that make our community so vibrant today. It’s all about coming together—sharing traditions, stories, and experiences in a way that’s fun, welcoming, and full of life.
Live music
Cultural dance
Art and crafts
Games for all ages
Traditional foods from around the world
Whether you’re reconnecting with your own heritage or discovering something new, the Global Roots Festival is a chance to celebrate what makes Grand Island special—our people.
Come hungry, bring your friends, and get ready to celebrate. Learn more on the Global Roots Festival Facebook page.
