Chandler Multicultural Festival
Dr. A.J. Chandler Park: Stage Plaza
The Chandler Multicultural Festival is a part of the annual Celebration of Unity events held each January to honor our community's heritage and diversity, along with the spirit and ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement.
In its 30th year, the Multicultural Festival celebrates the cultural diversity of our community through live music, dance, art, storytelling, cuisine, and more. Get ready to enjoy live performances on two stages, a low-rider car show where you can vote for the People's Choice Award, and an International Shopping Market featuring unique treasures from around the globe.
Indulge in delicious ethnic cuisines at the World Bizarre and browse through the International Shopping Market for one-of-a-kind finds. Connect with more than 50 local non-profits representing diverse communities, while the kids enjoy free activities like face painting, STEM projects, and more.
During the Celebration of Unity, we'll announce the winners of the Creative Expression Competition and the 3rd Annual MLK Jr. Award winners.
Made possible by the city's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Division.

Event History
In 1995, the Friends of the Chandler Public Library established the Chandler Multicultural Festival to bring the community together for a fun-filled day of art, music, and dance while also learning a little more about the rich cultural diversity that exists in our community. The festival has grown into a signature event for the City and offers a quality arts experience in the comfortable setting of the downtown Chandler Public Library.
