A variety of activities intended to promote cross-cultural
understanding are planned for Princeton's 31st annual International
Festival, set for Friday, April 22.
From 2 to 6 p.m. on the 100 level of the Frist Campus Center, cultural
tables representing several countries will be on display, and dishes
from around the globe will be served as part of a food festival.
A cultural and fashion show will follow from 8 to 10 p.m. beneath a
tent on Frist's south lawn. Bringing together performing groups and
individuals from campus, the event will showcase international dance
and music.
Leading up to the festival is an international film festival, which
