Thank you for coming to IFF49.
We are really thrilled to have you.
We have entertainment on two stages, 20 cultural villages, performers from all over the world, bilingual storytelling, art making, and other activities
plus lots of delicious food from around the world!
​Kids are allowed to bring their lunches in - there are park benches and tables, and more seating in the Bethia Stage and drinks tent.
NO backpacks, cinch sacks, etc though. There are water fountains in the park. Many villages have drinks for sale, and SPIFFS has water and sodas at our booth. And t-shirts & tote bags!
​If you paid last week, we will have the packets ready for you at the Gate. If you want to pay at the door, that is totally cool. It will go more smoothly if you email us ahead of time to tell us how many students and chaperones you will have, so we can have everything ready for you InternationalFolkFair@gmail.com.
Thank You!

You can "visit" countries and cultures online.
Actually meeting someone in person is different.
At Folk Fair, students experience real cultural exchanges with people from all across the world.
Every year we look forward to having the students of Tampa Bay join us at the Fair!
We'd love it if your school joined us in the February 20th or 21st for our 49th Annual International Folk Fair.
