Global Fest at The Beach

Explore the world, right here at The Beach!

Join alumni, students, faculty and neighbors from across Long Beach for a day-long celebration of the cultures that make our community whole. Enjoy live music and performances from around the world, sample flavors from local and international vendors, browse an Artisans Marketplace, and take in art exhibitions and demonstrations. Bring the whole family for hands-on crafts, games and activities for kids of all ages.
