It focuses on the educational aspects of cultures and transforms the Rose State campus into a global village for the day. One of the most popular activities each year is the children's tent. Local schools also display art and various projects they have made for the event. Global Oklahoma also presents an elaborate opening ceremony climaxing with the release of doves, symbolizing world peace. This year continues the Multicultural Art Contest which will be on display throughout the festival.
Planning is underway now for the fall event.
