What Is World Fair US?

What if you could travel across continents, taste street food from dozens of cultures, and watch performers from every corner of the globe all in a single day?

Welcome to World Fair US, a one-of-a-kind festival bringing together the sights, sounds, and flavors of over 80 countries in one unforgettable summer celebration. From July 7th to 28th, SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, will be transformed into a global village with six distinct pavilions: Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and South America.

Each pavilion offers a window into the daily life, traditions, and creativity of its region. With food stalls serving authentic dishes, artisans showcasing handmade crafts, and stages alive with music, dance, and storytelling, this is more than a cultural showcase – it’s a family-friendly adventure designed to spark curiosity, connection, and delight.

A Taste of the World

World Fair US is a food lover’s dream. From sizzling skewers to sweet pastries,you’ll find flavors passed down through generations. You’ll find everything from bold spices and rich stews to crispy snacks and refreshing desserts made by vendors with deep cultural roots.

Music, Movement, and Meaning

Across the festival, live performances bring each pavilion to life. Every region will feature its own stage showcasing traditional and modern acts. At the center of it all, the Main Stage will spotlight global performers, special collaborations, and crowd-favorite experiences you won’t want to miss. 

Old-School Fun, Global Twist

Alongside the cultural experiences, classic carnival rides and games will bring extra fun for families and kids of all ages. The festival grounds will include everything from a towering ferris wheel to bite-sized rides for younger explorers. The event will have a true summer fair atmosphere, with a global twist.

Six Pavilions, One Big Idea

Each pavilion highlights the richness and diversity of its region. While they’re all unique, they share a common purpose: to bring people together. World Fair US isn’t just about entertainment –  it’s about building understanding, honoring heritage, and sparking joy across generations.

Whether you’re exploring handmade jewelry from Ghana, sampling dumplings from Taiwan, or watching flamenco dancers from Spain, World Fair US invites you to see the world differently …and maybe even see yourself differently, too.
