THANKS FROM THE SKOKIE FESTIVAL OF CULTURES!
We hope you had an amazing time this past weekend at the 34th Skokie Festival of Cultures! From 51 cultural performances across two stages to 34 engaging cultural booths, every moment of this festival reflected the kindness, curiosity and connection that bring people together.

Community doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s built when we listen to each other, learn from each other, dance with each other and share meals with each other. This weekend was a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when people come together with respect and appreciation for one another.

Thank you to:
πŸ’› Every performer, volunteer, vendor and cultural organization
πŸ’› The Village of Skokie, Skokie Police Department and Skokie Fire Department
πŸ’› The Illinois Arts Council for their very generous donation
πŸ’› The many elected officials, Skokie Park District staff members and community partners who helped make this festival possible
πŸ’› Everyone who attended, participated and celebrated alongside of us!

A special thank-you to our generous sponsors for supporting this year’s festival: Main Stage sponsor J. Blanton Plumbing, Garrett Popcorn Shops, First Bank Chicago in Skokie, Chinese Mutual Aid Association, Polar Water, Middle Eastern Immigrant and Refugee Alliance, and Allstate Insurance.

We’re proud to help continue a tradition that showcases the diversity, unity and spirit of our community each year. Hope to see you in 2027!
