Marking its 20th year, the Multicultural Fair will feature music, dancing, food and more from countries around the world.
A celebration of the world’s cultures is returning to Schoolcraft College this month.
The 20th Annual Multicultural Fair returns to campus March 27 in the Vistatech Center. This international celebration will feature cultural displays from dozens of countries, as well as demonstrations, cuisine and so much more.
The Multicultural Fair, a celebration of the variety of cultures at Schoolcraft College, is a great way to travel the world without having to leave campus. The fair routinely attracts thousands of visitors, from students to community members.
“The Multicultural Fair is one of the signature events we put on each spring,” said Dr. Anna Maheshwari, a member of the Fair’s planning committee and Chair of the College’s English Department. “This event brings together so many wonderful cultures and we’re so excited to share it again with the community.”
Booths representing many countries such as Cambodia, Greece, Iran, Argentina and more will be on hand to share their cultures with visitors. Guests will also be offered a “passport” that can be stamped as visitors make their way through fair visiting country tables.
Performances will include dancers from The Philippines, the Mariachi Jalisco Band, the O’Hare Irish Step Dancers and more.
Several international food demonstrations will also take place in the brand-new Collaborative Learning Studio. Schoolcraft College’s decorated culinary arts student Sous Chefs will showcase foods from around the globe in the lab, including dishes from The Netherlands, Mexico and India.
The Fair is sponsored by the Schoolcraft College International Institute and the Student Activities Office. It is also supported by generous grants from the Liberal Arts and Science Office, as well as the Schoolcraft College Foundation.
The event is free and open to the public. It runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 27 in the DiPonio Room, located inside the renowned Vistatech Center.
