Description:
The Council of International Student Organizations in association with Cranwell International Center present the 60th Annual International Street Fair in the Squires Student Center parking lot on Sunday, April 28, 2019.

The International Street Fair is a social event where international and cultural student groups at Virginia Tech celebrate and share their traditions and heritage with the community of Blacksburg and the New River Valley.

This year's event will be kick started with a grand opening, called "Procession of Nations". At their booths, members from student organizations representing 40 countries will discuss about their missions, cultural background, and display handicrafts, textiles, and pre-wrapped food products. There will also be live performances of traditional music, children's activities, international food trucks (Note: student organizations no longer sell non-wrapped traditional food) and dancers from around the world sharing their culture with you.

The International Street Fair has annually served as a forum to exchange of ideas and as an exhibition of intercultural activities by the international community to promote cultural awareness, ideas, and diversity.

Admission to the fair is free and open to the public.

The event is rain or shine. No pets please.
