Experience the World Through Culture, Discovery, and Hands-On Learning
Holiday Folk Fair International is excited to welcome 4th-8th grade students, educators, and youth organizations to Education Day 2026, a special day dedicated to cultural exploration and interactive learning.
Last year, more than 5,000 students participated in this unique educational experience, engaging with cultures from around the world through live demonstrations, performances, exhibits, and hands-on activities.
This year, we're making Education Day even bigger, more interactive, and more engaging than ever before.
Students will have the opportunity to:
- Explore global cultures through immersive exhibits and educational displays
- Participate in hands-on cultural activities and demonstrations
- Experience live music, dance, storytelling, and traditional arts
- Learn directly from cultural representatives and community leaders
- Discover the traditions, histories, and contributions of communities from around the world
New for 2026: Expanded Interactive Learning Experiences
We're enhancing Education Day with more opportunities for students to actively participate rather than simply observe. Cultural groups are encouraged to create engaging educational experiences that invite students to ask questions, try activities, and connect with traditions in meaningful ways.
Participation opportunities include:
- Educational Exhibits
- Interactive Cultural Activities
- Arts & Crafts Demonstrations
- Dance and Music Presentations
- Storytelling Sessions
- Food Demonstrations
- Cultural Workshops
- Marketplace and Cultural Displays
If your group is interested in participating, please complete the Education Day Participation Form and tell us about your areas of interest.
Join us as we bring the world into the classroom and create unforgettable learning experiences for thousands of students across Wisconsin and beyond.
