As is the tradition of the games, many concerts and public performances are available to choirs. International Friendship Concerts bring together multiple choirs to sing at public venues in and around the host city of Cincinnati. This opportunity provides each choir the chance to present musical traditions and costumes of its native land.

In addition, non-participating choirs, instrumental groups and dance companies may register to participate in the cultural exchange of International Friendship Concerts.

Friendship concerts are free to the public.
