WorldFest coordinating team members Dr. Eric Doise and Dr. Mary Ellen Daniloff-Merril give us a preview of what we can expect at the 2023 WorldFest and a little history and recap of previous WorldFest celebrations.
"WorldFest is an educational and cultural event helping to build appreciation, respect, and a greater understanding of cultural differences.
Equally as important, we want to create a more inclusive and welcoming community for all at SMSU and in the wider Marshall area."
The 2023 WorldFest has three major sections: The World Cuisine, The World Cultures Expo, and the World Stage. The World Cuisine introduces us to the tastes and flavors from around the world and our own backyard. The World Cultures Expo features SMSU students and community members sharing information about their respective home countries and cultures. The area also features several hands-on activities. Thirty informational booths will be available this year. Finally, The World Stage will showcase 17 different talents from SMSU, the local community, professional artists, and performance groups representing international and diverse cultures in southwest Minnesota.
When: Saturday, April 15, 2023 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Where: Red Baron Arena, 1651 Victory Dr, Marshall, MN 56258
