An annual festival of cultural displays, traditional costumes, dances, and international bands.
Dozens of UGA international student organizations and local community groups will sponsor informative and interactive cultural displays as well as musical and dance performances.

Visitors will have an opportunity to collect "passport" stamps from each of the countries represented; those who collect all available stamps will receive a ticket for a prize drawing. A children's corner will allow young guests to participate in activities such as coloring international paper dolls, creating their own flags, crafting African necklaces and much more. International and multinational groups will perform and host colorful displays from around the world. Door prizes and giveaways will be available from local sponsoring businesses.

"This event is an extraordinary opportunity to help people learn about other cultures as well as create connections between international students and the Athens community," said Leigh Poole, international student life director. "Each year typically 5,000 people attend and we're hoping to top that number this year."

TIME: noon - 5 p.m.
COST: Free
