About
Since 1989, the Houghton and Hancock communities have been celebrating the rich cultural diversity of the Keweenaw through the Festival of Nations and the Multicultural Festival that follows. We are excited to continue that tradition in 2026.
This year's theme is the 7 Wonders of the World, and we need your help to celebrate! Volunteers are the driving force behind this event. They help with event set up, clean up, and provide support at the multicultural festival. Explore the volunteer positions and shifts available and sign up for the one that best fits your interests! Event organizers will be in contact as the event approaches to share additional instructions and event details.
