about us

about us

An inter-collegiate celebration of diversity designed to uplift mental wellness and create a greater sense of belonging through cultural performances in students.

It was inspired by the historic World Culture Festival—US Edition, a landmark event that brought over 1.1 million people from across 180 countries to gather in unity on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

The 2nd edition of WCDC is fueled by the festival's enthusiasm and the underlying spirit that connects us as a one world family. The event celebrates humanity's rich cultural diversity, igniting a global community spirit dedicated to forging a more harmonious world.
