A one-of-a-kind event on the UW campus, CulturalFest has been produced by the FIUTS Student Board every year since 2001. Hundreds of people attend, including university students and faculty, local elementary and middle school students, and members of the greater Seattle community.

CulturalFest celebrates the cultural diversity of the UW campus through two main events:1) country booths where students display pictures, crafts, native dress, music, maps, food, and cultural items;2) perfomances of music, dance, and art.

There's only 20 spots for the mini-grant if you would like to provide snacks from your country so apply EARLY!!!!
