AND, on Saturday the 11th:

Ecuador Manta is an Andean band that plays traditional music from Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia. They combine those stylings with more contemporary Latin and Caribbean rhythms. You know them and love them, and they are back at the International Festival in 2026!!

Please welcome the first headliner of our 32nd annual Worthington International Festival!! For Friday, July 10th....

Ukrainian Village Band! Get ready to get up and moving! Ukrainian Village Band is proud to serve as the ambassadors of rich and vibrant Ukrainian culture in the Midwest. Wherever they play, people inevitably get up and start moving to polka, waltz, latin, rock, kolomyjky (traditional Ukrainian circle dances). The Ukrainian Village Band not only plays traditional Ukrainian music, but they play pop music from Ukraine and other places too.

We would like to remind everyone that the International Festival is a part of a non profit organization (Cultural Awareness Organization). We work as an independent entity with a volunteer led planning committee. We stand with our immigrant community, and condemn the illegal actions of ICE in our community. The 2026 International Festival is in the planning process, and we are considering the times we are in and how this year could be very different. We still hope to hold space for community in whatever way we can.

There are many trusted volunteers in the Worthington community willing to assist vulnerable families. Please share the number with families in need of humanitarian assistance, and Kivu Law will connect the request to local volunteers able to assist with meals, rides, food pick up, dog walks, laundry, and more.
