International Focus, Inc.

International Focus supports multiculturalism and international exchange through its newsletters, collaborations, workshops, resources, and its flagship event, the International Festival of Raleigh. Since 1985, the International Festival has been a key component of the Triangle's cultural and artistic offerings. The event showcases music, dance, cuisine, art, and cultural education from 55 diverse cultures, and welcomes 30,000 visitors annually. We continue to welcome new ethnic communities to our network as the Triangle's population expands; and we are honored to be the area's pivotal connector for cross-cultural understanding and respect.

International Focus Inc., is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization with the mission to promote mutual understanding between the people of NC and the international community through education, cultural exchange, arts and the celebration of achievements.

We celebrate the great diversity of the Triangle, where we live side by side with neighbors from all over the world. Our vision is to connect and collaborate with all our neighbors to create a rich community that benefits from the wealth of viewpoints, creativity, wisdom, and friendship our Triangle international family has to offer.
