The University of New Mexico's Office of International Programs and Studies hosts its 5th Annual International Festival on Wednesday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the UNM Johnson Center's auxiliary gym.
“This year's event features live performances in music and dance from around the world, including Indian classical dance, as well as flamenco and African dance. The wide variety of performances is sure to make this year's festival memorable,” said Ken Carpenter, associate director, Office of International Programs and Studies.
Food from many cultures, prepared by UNM's international students, international organizations, and the local international community will tempt and tantalize.
“Last year was a great success with food from more than 20 countries. More than 1,500 students, faculty and community members participated and visited. This year looks to be just as promising. Food prices range from .50 cents to $4, making it easy to taste a variety of different foods,” Carpenter said.
The International Festival is sponsored by the Office of International Programs and Studies with support from campus departments and student organizations.
