These will be reviewed by the Ethnic Expo Selection Committee. The deadline to submit an application for Host Country is Feb. 28.

Ethnic Expo is organized by the city of Columbus and is made possible by presenting sponsor, First Financial Bank, and other sponsors including Coca-Cola and ERMCO Electric. This activity is also made possible, in part, with support from the Indiana Arts Commission, the Columbus Area Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The two-day festival, which celebrates the city’s diversity and rich cultural traditions, will take place from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on both days around Columbus City Hall.
The fall festival is family-friendly and features live performances of international music and dancing, authentic cuisine and bazaar market vendors, and free children’s activities.
