I-Fest Savina Velkova 17 years ago With live music, dance, and authentic cuisine from 27 countries, the Claremont Colleges celebrated the 31st International Festival on Apr. 11. The North Quad at CMC filled early in the day with students and participants from I-Place, the colleges’ international organization. Booths represented individual countries with colorful banners and a variety of delicious food and drinks. “How do you know that’s what Bulgarian food is like?” asked a curious visitor hungry not only for food but also for knowledge. One key to the popularity of the Festival may be that many of the participants are natives of the countries they represent, and their enthusiasm inspired interest and support from the student community. — Savina Velkova Facebook Comments See moreShare this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Print (Opens in new window) Print Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email MULTIMEDIA: A taste of home, right here at the 7Cs — inside the annual International FestivalDateFebruary 20, 2026 12:07 amIn relation toAffinity41st Annual International Festival brings music, food and art from around the globe to the 5CsDateApril 18, 2019 10:24 pmIn relation toArts & Culture7C International Festival celebrates global cultures with food, music and performanceDateFebruary 28, 2025 1:52 amIn relation toNews
