The International Student Union’s annual Interfest: International Food Festival is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2 in the RSC Beggs Ballroom.

Each semester, WSU students prepare and sell dishes from their native countries for this event. The festival provides a platform for intercultural sharing where the WSU community and visitors can try out diverse cuisine and learn about the origins and cultural significance of a particular dish. It also serves as a fundraiser for international student associations, although small groups of students also participate to have as many diverse dishes as possible.

Dishes will vary in price, and tickets are sold in $1 increments. Tickets for the event can be purchased in advance through Marketplace or at the door with cash or card.
