The annual Peace Games are held each August to celebrate the diverse cultures of Minneapolis. Children, youth and adults participate in cultural sports, learn new dances, make art projects from around the world, see exciting stage acts and enjoy ethnic snacks.

Past celebrations have featured Hmong Butterfly dancers, Filipino Tinikeling, Mexico Lindo dancers and African dancers. Activities includes India Henna Painting, Chinese Calligraphy (translating names into Chinese), soccer, Thai dancing, rugby and Kufi Hat making.
