This coming Saturday, April 19th, FIUTS welcomes you to Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle for the biggest FIUTS event of the year: CulturalFest 2025. Along with the cultural expo. 4:oo-8:30 PM, and the evening performance starting a 7:00 PM, we will hold a FIUTS Raffle of a number of donations from FIUTS Donors, Board of Trustees, and local establishments.

Tickets are reasonably priced with a single ticket for $5 and a set of 5 discounted at $20. You can purchase tickets once you arrive at Benaroya Hall at the FIUTS Table or FIUTS staff and students who will be selling them on the floor. We can accept cash or credit card for ticket payment. Announcement of the winners will take place on site after the Intermission, though you don’t have to be present to claim your prize.
