K8/2/3. International Festival Records, 1979-2014
Scope and Contents
The International Festival is an annual program that highlights the cultural diversity at Sangamon State University/University of Illinois at Springfield. Organized by the International Student Organization, the festival features exhibits, food, and entertainment provided by international students and featuring their home countries. Each yearly festival is centered on a theme that explores the unique differences between the featured countries. Examples of themes include wedding traditions, toys and games, and clothing. There is also a “world market” where visitors can purchase items from other nations. Originally started as a simple potluck get-together, the festival has been celebrated every year since 1977. The collection contains correspondence, programs, budgets, posters, recipes, videos, photos, music, and other organizational material from the festivals held between 1979 and 2014.
