Drummers on stage facing a crowd of dancing families at night2027 date TBD · CFI 70 grounds

Global Fest

Our largest school event and biggest fundraiser of the year. One day when the whole CFI 70 community comes together to celebrate the cultures that make us who we are.

About the festival

The world, celebrated on 46th Street.

As an IB Primary Years school, CFI 70 asks students to explore global themes and recognize our shared humanity. Global Fest is where that comes to life for the whole community: students, families, teachers and neighbors sharing music, dance and traditions from around the world.

Student performances, live bands, kids zone, food trucks, the global marketplace and more: Global Fest is one of the most exciting days of the year, and it raises the funds that power PTSA programs all year long.
