Travel the World without a Passport

Today, we welcomed all to experience the 15th Annual International Festival on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 11a-6p inside Erie Street Market, Toledo, OH.

Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz says "I believe, we (Toledo) have always been good at welcoming all different people, all different cultures, all different religions; we are a family in Toledo."

This year, 2026 marks the 95th anniversary of Toledo, Spain, and Toledo, Ohio's relationship. This very relationship was the first in the world to be established and inspired the continuation of Sister Cities.

In addition of honoring the 95th anniversary of the two Toledos, there is a full schedule of performances from 11a-6p including Andy Hernandez, who performed at the Toledo Sister Cities International Festival Press Conference on September 10, 2026. See full schedule below:
