How Multicultural
Surface Forms
Morphology
Multikulti + festival
The phrase is compositionally built from 'Multikulti' (i.e. multicultural/multiculturalism) + 'festival', so the meaning 'a festival celebrating multiculturalism' follows directly from the constituents. Although 'Multikulti' is an informal borrowing and may be unfamiliar to some learners, if a B1 learner knows the constituent meanings the combination is predictable and cross-linguistically transparent.
Etymology
Multikulti festival comes from joining multi ('many') and kulti (a short form of 'culture'). It gives the image of many cultures meeting in one place, so it means a festival that celebrates different cultures.
