The 38th annual International Festival offered a wide range of cultural experience for those who attended. Clubs representing several multicultural communities set up tables with informational posters and delicious dishes. Food for purchase included lumpia, shawarma bowls, taro sago, dango, kebabs and more. One of the Indian student clubs offered $5 henna for students who wanted to participate in other ways.

While attendees roamed around looking at all the stalls, they could also enjoy the wonderful performance of the student rock band Revitalizer, who played for the first half of the event. As per usual, the band delivered amazing song after amazing song and did a fantastic job of keeping the crowd hyped and engaged.

Although the event ended earlier than expected, I-Fest breathed life into the Union on Friday evening and offered a pleasant segue for visiting families to see what RPI can offer in terms of arts and culture.
