By the Numbers
Aurora is truly “The World in a City,” and nowhere is that more apparent than at Global Fest, the city’s signature event showcasing international cultures.
Now in its 11th year, Global Fest is a free, multicultural experience bringing the sights, sounds and flavors of nations from around the world to celebrate the diverse people and communities that call Aurora home. The family-friendly, one-day event includes two stages of vibrant musical and dance performances, a variety of local food trucks, an international marketplace, the Parade of Nations, a Fashion Show, art displays, creative activities for children, and much more.
Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in Colorado. About 1 in 5 people in Aurora are foreign-born and more than 160 languages are spoken in Aurora schools. Global Fest is an intentional event allowing the entire city to proudly embrace its global spirit.
Global Fest provides opportunities for local vendors and businesses to interact with thousands of community members. Attendees can also access important resources dealing with health, acquiring documents, food and other services.
We welcome everyone to this event and share every moment.

Note: Public parking is available and free at the Aurora Municipal Campus, but spots fill up fast. All spots, including accessible spots, are often taken by 1 p.m., so carpooling or public transportation is highly encouraged. There are two free shuttles operating every 15 minutes from Town Center of Aurora to the Aurora Municipal Center campus (stopping in front of the courthouse). Service is provided from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The shuttles are not ADA accessible, so please plan accordingly. The Aurora Municipal Center Parking Garage is for assigned vendors, performers, volunteers, staff and media only, and is not open to the general public. The RTD Aurora Metro Center Station parking lot is available and free for Global Fest guests. There is a path connecting the lot to the Aurora Municipal Center campus under Alameda Parkway.
