Global Festival is a signature annual event of the Office for International Students and Scholars. International students representing dozens of countries around the world come together to share their culture and talents with exhibits and demonstrations, exciting and colorful performances, and interactive dance workshops.

The Global Festival has something for everyone: students, community members, and families alike. Have your "passport" signed as you wander through the different country exhibits. Enjoy live dance performances or a cultural fashion show. Purchase gifts at the Gift Shop, where all proceeds are used for scholarships for international students.

Check back for details on future Global Festival events in 2022 and beyond! 

The Global Festival has been sponsored by The Office for International Students and Scholars, MOSAIC, University Activities Board, MSU Union, Community Volunteers for International Programs, Michigan State University Federal Credit Union and Two Men and a Truck.
