In its early years, the Festival was largely a women's endeavor. Then in 1939, Robert E. Albrecht became the first male chairperson and since then the Festival of Nations committees have enthusiastically blended women and men in numerous responsibilities. That principle still holds 69 years later. Recognizing that the future of the Festival of Nations is in youth participation, increased effort has been given to attracting students to this educational intercultural event. Overall attendance for the four days exceeds more than 85,000 people from the Upper Midwest, across America and from abroad.
