The Multi-Cultural Festival of West Virginia, Inc., aka Multifest, is a non-profit organization that seeks to enrich & enhance multiculturalism in the lives of those we serve in our community.  This is done by providing a venue to celebrate diversity for all citizens through art, music, education, cultural programming, ethnic cuisine and more. 

Multifest started in 1989 with the first festival held on the grounds of the State Capital of West Virginia.  Since its inception, the festival has grown to be the longest-running festival in the State of WV.  Multifest is also proud to have the status of being the largest diversity-related festival in West Virginia, with over 30-plus years of experience in organizing a FREE festival.  To date, the festival has attracted more than a million participants and people have planned their summer vacations, family & high school reunions, girls’ trip, and other special events to include Multifest on their agenda. 

Multifest is seen as a viable & respectable entity that plays a very important role in helping people whose lives are affected by the lack of diversity in our community.  In addition to, the lack of diversified events, cultural awareness programs and ethnic entertainment, which Multifest can provide and deliver.  The festival is largely supported by Corporate Sponsors & Private Donors to meet a yearly budget of $250,000.  However, the budget for Multifest 33 in ‘23 is $350,000, which will allow Multifest to expand to 4 days & continue providing top-quality multicultural entertainment and youth programs.  Without the support of generous donors like yourself, these needs could go unmet. 

In order to continue making a difference in our community, we need individual support from our family, friends and associates.  Can we count on you to make a personal donation to Multifest?  By making a tax-deductible donation to our $100K Capital Campaign, you'll be recognized for your generosity based on your level of giving. (see attached)  Please make your contribution outlined on this page. 

Multifest is depending on your assistance and generosity. Therefore, please be assured that your contribution will be put to good use. Thank you in advance for your consideration and financial support.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
