On the first Saturday in October each year, Bowie celebrates the International Festival with a variety of entertainers, artists, crafters, food, and children's activities at Allen Pond Park.
Check back soon for more information about the 2022 International Festival!
You'll find:
Entertainment on two stages
Food from the far reaches of Asia to right here in our own backyard
Children’s activities with a "passport" to earn a prize
Vendors selling crafts, clothing, jewelry and other offerings from around the world
Children may pick up a passport at any children’s activity booth or the event information booth and participate in various activities and accumulate stamps on their passport.
Activities include dance/music from different cultures, fitness, and arts and crafts from around the world. At the end of the “trip,” those who earn enough stamps will be eligible to receive an international prize.
If your organization would like to be part of the Children's Activities passports please contact Matt Corley at 301-809-3078 or mcorley@cityofbowie.org.
Please see the link below from The Prince George's County Memorial Library on how to complete their craft. They will be handing out materials for this craft on the day of The International Festival.
