Join us in celebrating the 31st Annual International Festival, when Local Goes Global! 

 
Overture's International Festival weaves a rich tapestry of performances, crafts and foods with sounds, smells and flavors as colorful as the vibrant costumes that adorn the performers. We give full-throated voice to languages, cultures and people from around the world, even as all the performers currently call Dane County home. For one day every year, Local Goes Global!
