Get your virtual passport stamped as Houston International Festival, the two-weekend world party, spotlights Australia along with live music, dance, food, drinks and markets drawing from cultures across the world on Saturday, April 26 to Sunday, April 27 and Saturday, May 3 to Sunday, May 4, 2014.

Celebrating it 43rd year, the 2014 Houston International Festival is doubling down on its celebration of international cultures after leaving the Thanksgiving parade business behind it. Presenting four days of live music, artist demonstrations, interactive exhibits and more, the festival features a smorgasbord of cultures. This year, it also shines its spotlight on Australia, featuring an extra large dose of entertainment and offerings from the land down under.

This year’s headliners include Two Tons of Steel, Asleep at the Wheel, The New Mastersounds, Charles Bradley, Family Stone, El Gran Silencio and Laura Mvura.

Combined attendance over the four days is expected to reach somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 guests.
