The West Lafayette Global Fest is a long-standing tradition featuring entertainment, food, and art from almost every continent on the planet. This year’s event will be no different; with live music, cultural displays, and activities for families and kids of all ages!

Live music at Global Fest is always a highlight, offering the chance to experience music from locales you’ve only read about, performed by musicians proud to share their melodic heritage. This year’s festival will feature the Arabic flamenco jazz of acclaimed Jordanian singer Farah Siraj, who has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious platforms, including the United Nations, Nobel Prize Hall, and Lincoln Center. And fans of infectious Cuban rhythms must witness the poet, rapper, and songwriter Telmary, as she showcases the talents that have made her an international sensation.
