Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the International Street Festival was founded by UGA’s department of International Student Life to promote cultural awareness and appreciation within the local community through music, dance and food from around the world. This year’s performances include Athens Tango Project, Kenya Safari Acrobats, Tonalli Danza Folklórica Mexicana, Bollywood fusion dance team Saazish and several others. The street block will be lined with over 25 information tables representing UGA student groups alongside community-wide organizations such as Historic Athens and the Classic City Pétanque Club. Jamaican food truck Rashe’s Cuisine and King of Pops will be on site. In addition to raffle prizes from local businesses and a photo booth, the festival will have a designated Children’s Corner with crafts, inflatables and other family-friendly activities.
