STARKVILLE — It’s less than one month until Mississippi State’s signature global celebration, International Fiesta, and there’s still time to sign up as a participant.
Set for April 11 at 11 a.m. on the Drill Field, the fiesta organizers say that there will be an expansion on the activities available, including photo booths, inflatables, scavenger hunts, games and more.
“This year, we’re adding a big screen in the food court to project the main stage entertainment in that area for the large crowd,” said Kylie Forrester, center director. “We’re planning for a big turnout with other universities and local schools planning to attend, along with our own students and community.”
The festival has grown over the past 30 years to become Mississippi’s leading international festival and one of MSU’s biggest weekend events, attracting hundreds from across the state and region.
Those interested in hosting a community or organization booth with traditional arts and crafts, food, entertainment or cultural information at International Fiesta can register through March 25 by contacting MSU’s Center for Student Activities. Others who wish to perform on the event stage also can sign up through the center. The participation deadline is March 25. Visit www.studentactivities.msstate.edu/signature-events/international-fiesta for more information.
MSU students and employees can register through the university’s Canvas software. Those wanting more event information can email Karolina Kastsiuchenka, center program coordinator, at [email protected] or Forrester at [email protected].
