The International Festival is always alive with color.
-
The festival is an opportunity for students to experience a bit of the world beyond our own borders.
-
Festival-goers share plenty of laughs and excitement ...
-
... and the food is plentiful, too, even for the pre-college crowd.
-
Booths provide background to make the International Festival a learning experience.
-
The clothing on hand transports guests to different places.
-
Those staffing the booths enjoy the chance to share their culture, including attire.
-
There was plenty of information to be had.
-
The International Festival is one of IUPUI's most anticipated and well-attended traditions ...
-
... but food is still a great generator of conversation.
-
Some liked to capture an image ...
-
... others were more pensive and thoughtful.
-
The annual International Festival show challenged participants to demonstrate the finest clothes ...
-
... and some dance moves added to the fun.
-
Some of the clothing was ornate ...
-
... and some was decorative ...
-
... and some harkened more to the Wild West.
-
But in a technological age, it all got captured for posterity.
-
Most of all, though, everyone on hand could agree that it's a great, big, wonderful world to share.
