UNC Charlotte International Festival

The International Festival has been one of UNC Charlotte’s longest standing and most prized traditions. Founded in 1975, the International Festival was originally made to highlight the growing international student population on campus, but now continues to recognize the region’s growing cultural richness. The International Festival is centered around booths arranged in marketplace style representing the cultures of over 35 nations. The booths are staffed by UNC Charlotte students and members of the Charlotte area community. The International Festival also includes dance performances, a Parade of Nations and much more! The International Festival is open to the public with FREE entry and parking.
