With the change of venue there were major changes to the floor plan. The main difference is that the Dayton Convention Center was essentially one large building, albeit with different rooms.

Children’s Passports

A very popular feature of A World A’Fair, inaugurated in 2007, has been the Children’s Passport program. The Children’s Passport is a small booklet containing a page for each country/ethnic organization, with a photo from the organization and a question having to do with this year’s festival theme.


Children of all ages visiting the Festival receive a passport to be taken to each country’s booth where they will find or be told the answer to the question and have their “passport” stamped providing them with a fun learning experience.
