Food, gifts, cultural artifacts and entertainment from around the world will be the highlights of the 37th Annual International Fair at Illinois State University, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 17 &18. The event will be held in the Bone Student Center Prairie Room.

On Saturday, the doors will open at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. Sunday hours for the International Fair are noon to 5 p.m.

Admission at the door is $3 for adults and $2 for students (junior high through college). Children, elementary school and younger, are admitted free.

This year’s International Fair will feature 25 booths hosted by student nationality groups and community organizations. In addition to food and entertainment, an informational scavenger hunt will give children and adults a chance to learn more about different countries around the world.

The International Fair is co-sponsored by The Pantagraph and MECCPAC (Multi-Ethnic Cultural and Co-Curricular Programming Advisory Committee).
