The 15^th Annual Celebration of Nations brings together the vibrant cultures and countries of our community in Rolla.

The festivities begin with the Parade of Nations at 11 a.m. The parade will feature Missouri S&T’s international students and community members carrying flags representing their home countries, as well as marching bands, local dignitaries, and the ever-popular camels. This year the parade will start at the Castleman Hall parking lot on 9th Street, turn right onto Rolla Street, left at 7th Street, and left onto Pine Street. It will continue north along Pine Street to 11th Street, before heading down Oak Street and finishing past the Downtown Bandshell.

Following the parade, the celebration will continue at the downtown bandshell and festival lots. The festival will feature international foods, arts and crafts, and cultural displays, as well as an expanded family area with free hands-on activities for children of all ages. Come and enjoy one of the largest cultural events in Missouri.
