The 9th Annual FusionFest Festival takes place November 28–29, 2026, at our New Location, Loch Haven Park in Orlando.
Participation Details
Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each participant represents one country or affinity group.
One person may carry each flag.
FusionFest provides all flags. Please do not bring your own flag, as outside flags cannot be used.
If your preferred flag has already been claimed, we invite you to choose another place that is meaningful to you or inspires you.
What to Wear
We encourage participants to wear cultural attire, a FusionFest T-shirt, or colorful clothing that reflects the spirit of the celebration.
Please do not wear commercial or branded T-shirts, hats, or other branded clothing.
Procession Guidelines
Participants will receive instructions on how to properly unwind and rewind their flags at the beginning and end of the procession. Please follow these instructions carefully so we can create a smooth and beautiful presentation.
If you are unable to attend, please arrange for someone to take your place or contact (321) 946-1867.

A Note About Our Flags
At FusionFest, flags are presented as representations of culture, heritage, and personal connection. Carrying a flag does not constitute a political endorsement of any current or past government or its actions.
Instead, each flag represents the people, places, traditions, foods, clothing, arts, and customs that have shaped the lives of Central Floridians and their families. Our histories are part of who we are today, even as we continue to shape our own lives and futures.
Complete your application and join us in honoring the incredible diversity of our Central Florida community—one flag, one story, and one shared celebration at a time.
