Members are responsible for selecting the theme; organizing the parade and multicultural festival; fundraising; screening and approving float, booth, and performance applications and grant requests; and disbursing funds to qualifying organizations.

The Parade of Nations and Multicultural Fest relies on spirited cooperation between campus and community. There are many ways to volunteer, actively supporting the mission to promote international understanding, build cultural awareness, and celebrate the representation inherent in our healthy, strong, and inclusive environment. Your participation on any level is meaningful. Attend events. Entertain or applaud. Help set up or clean up. Or choose to become a sponsor and multiply your impact on one of the Keweenaw’s premier events.
