Join the International Festival 2024 with a Booth or a Performance

Dear Student Groups,

Join us! Come participate in the biggest international student event in CU-Boulder for free! It is the "International Festival”. Present your culture to students and the Boulder community. Let them experience the rich tradition and heritage that you are a part of. The response in the past has been overwhelmingly positive with approximately 2,000 people attending the International Festival in 2023. The event won 'Cultural Event of the Year' in 2018 and 2023.

Who can get a booth at the CU International Festival?

The mission of the CU International Festival is “to promote, and celebrate diversity among students and community members; to provide a platform for international student groups to represent their culture, and to encourage a rediscovery of international students’ own background”. Any student or community group that represents a nation, or culture-specific to a region of the world, is welcome to apply for a booth at the International Festival. Also, each booth must have a current CU student, and the festival is not intended to be a profit-making activity.

How do you apply for a booth or perform at the International Festival?

Read the application thoroughly, complete all parts, and submit it by the deadline. Please submit the application online (link will be provided when applications open), and be sure to keep a copy of your application for your records. An IFest Committee Member will reach out if any additional information is needed from you! If you have any questions, please contact us.
