International Festival Booths

Informational booths are an integral part to the mission of the International Festival. During the event, student organizations and individual communities host informative, engaging, and interactive booths to highlight their cultural organization. By hosting a booth, groups expose student, faculty, and staff to new perspectives and traditions while highlighting their organization.

There is no direct fee to participate in the International Festival. However, we do recognize that there are inherent costs with setting up a high-quality booth (food, display board, engaging activity).
