The Mankato Area International Festival is one of Minnesota's largest international events. The festival showcases food, music, dance, and cultures of many nations, all in one place on one day. Food and performances are provided mainly by international students at Minnesota State University, Mankato, but other local and regional vendors, restaurants, and performance groups also participate.
