This year’s Peruvian Festival 2025 was a milestone celebration marking 20 years of proudly honoring and sharing Peruvian culture with the southern community. Held on July 27 in Norcross, Georgia, the event brought together thousands of attendees for a vibrant day filled with traditional music, folkloric dance, authentic Peruvian cuisine, and family friendly activities.
The festival showcased Peru’s rich cultural heritage with special performances from local dance groups, local and international artists. Artisans and food vendors lined the venue, offering everything from anticuchos and ceviche to handcrafted souvenirs.
