It’s back for the 43rd year in a row. Since the event’s first iteration in 1975, the International Festival, organized by UNC Charlotte, has been an annual campus tradition focused on representing the cultures of over 50 nations. Soak up some culture that you might not be familiar with and get a new perspective on the arts, crafts, costumes and traditions of places you didn’t learn about in eighth grade world geography. Best part: many booths offer their country’s food for sale.
