Our Clemson University, and greater Clemson, communities are the backbone of the International Festival. In order to ensure this event can be free to the public, we often rely on our student organizations, campus departments, and community partners to serve as our vendors and performers during the festival.
Global Showcase
One of Clemson's Core values is respect, and as Clemson students, we are exposed to a vast number of cultural backgrounds and identities. The global showcase sector of the International Festival is focused on celebrating and sharing these different cultures through entertainment.
We are looking to welcome groups or individuals from any cultural background to perform and to participate in a fashion show that represents their cultural background. The global showcase sector will also include musical groups that represent the cultural diversity of Clemson University.
Global Cuisines
One of the central parts of the International Festival is the Global Cuisines station. Global Cuisine allows food vendors to sell food that is an important part of their culture/country. As a food vendor, you can help introduce and bring joy to those that want to try something new and delicious as well as learn information about a culture/country. This is also a great organizational fundraiser as 100% ticket sales go back to the vendor.
International Kids Zone
International Festival is family friendly event with attractions and activities for individuals at all ages. Join the International Kids Zone to make the event a fun time for children! This is also a great opportunity teach young children about a new culture in an exciting way.
World Market
In an effort to ensure the International Festival is also an educational event, we have a World Market designed to provide relevant information and artifacts from various cultures. Vendors will be able to host information tables sharing important facts related to their community and have the potential to sell items connected to that culture.
