What is CULTURA?
Cultura is a one-day event in its fourth year scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026 in downtown Howell in and around the Howell Opera House. Join us as we celebrate culture through music, art and food, co-hosted by the Livingston Diversity Council and the Livingston Arts Council.
This annual fall event features two distinct performance areas featuring sounds and movement from around the world, unique and culturally symbolic art and food trucks highlighting wide spice and flavor palettes.
Everyone is welcome to this all-ages event to celebrate and learn with us. Be ready to open your mind and heart to understanding and a deeper sense of global community!
