Joy to the World: Holiday Concert Celebration of Diversity in Indianapolis


Indy’s Global Village

Immerse yourself in a vibrant tapestry of global traditions at the “Joy to the World” Holiday Concert and Celebration on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 4 PM, hosted at Indy’s Global Village. This extraordinary event is brought to you by a dynamic partnership between the International Marketplace Coalition and the Asante Art Institute of Indianapolis. Together, we aim to embrace the rich cultural diversity that Indianapolis proudly embodies, by highlighting holiday traditions from around the globe.

“Joy to the World” is not just a concert; it’s a journey through a wide array of cultures existing within our community. From mesmerizing dances and spirited performances of the Haitian, Chinese, Okinawan, Nigerian, Celtic, and Latin communities, this event promises to captivate the hearts and minds of all attendees. It is particularly special this year, as it collaborates with Asante’s innovative Prep4Life program, nurturing the next generation of artists and leaders.

This event is more than a celebration—it's a step towards building a more inclusive and understanding community, aligning with our organizational beliefs that exposure to diverse art forms expands our worldview. It offers each participant the chance to reflect on their own cultural identity and role as a member of our diverse city, thereby fostering a stronger sense of global citizenship.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon filled with music, dance, and cultural exchange that brings together the endless possibilities when cultures unite. General admission is $15. Youth 12 and under are free. Tickets here
