 Dear NCI Member
The Nationalities Council is a non-profit, all-volunteer educational foundation comprised of more than 50 ethnic or national affinity organizations plus other groups, corporations and individuals interested in celebrating Indy's diversity. Since 1976, the Nationalities Council's annual International Festival, held each fall at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, has been a popular "Celebration of Diversity" that introduces thousands of schoolchildren and adults to the wide range of Indy's culinary, historical, social, ethnic and linguistic heritage.
The Council's website includes links to hundreds of multicultural and international organizations in Indianapolis and Indiana, a comprehensive calendar of international events, and links to thousands more pages of information, including the only comprehensive directory of ethnic restaurants, markets and festivals in the Indianapolis area.
