Event Description

Join us on November 7 at International House Davis for I-Fest 2026, our International Festival Davis!

For one day, we open our doors wide to celebrate and uplift the many cultures and people who make our region so vibrant. Explore cultural and artisan booths throughout I-House, enjoy food trucks out front, and experience a full lineup of performances on our backyard stage. It’s an open house in the truest sense: for the day, this is your house too, and every culture and community has a place here.

I-Fest is a celebration, but your participation also supports the work I-House does all year long: welcoming newcomers, supporting English learners, and helping people from around the world find connection and community in Davis. At a time when many of us are feeling anxious or disconnected, creating spaces for joy, belonging, and connection feels more important than ever. Come celebrate cultures, meet new people, share in the joy, and experience what makes our community so special.

For one day, I-House is your house. Come be part of it.

Full Lineup!

I-Fest brings together artists, makers, community groups, and performers from dozens of cultures for one day of music, food, and connection. Here’s who you’ll meet:

  • 20+ performing groups celebrating cultures from around the world
  • 50+ vendors and cultural booths, from handmade jewelry and calligraphy to hands-on kids’ crafts
  • Local food trucks and booths, plus the sponsors who make it all possible
