About the Festival

The Lorain International Festival and Bazaar is the premier event of the summer for Lorain, Ohio. The week long festival begins June 18, 2011, with 9 separate events taking place mainly in downtown Lorain. Various nationalities, cultures and our community are celebrated with the sharing of gifts from our many homelands through food, music, costume and tradition.

The three day bazaar takes place along the scenic Black River, and features over 40 food vendors with a wide variety of ethnic cuisine to sample. There will be entertainment throughout the weekend including on-going live performances. Stop by the different cultural booths that spotlight crafts and items from their homeland.
