The Multicultural Society of Niskayuna High School is proud to present its fifth annual International Festival, which will take place on Friday, May 13 from 6-9 p.m. at in the high school's Blatnick Gym.

The event is free, but donations are appreciated, and all proceeds will be used to help support global charitable organizations, such as Heifer International.

Multicultural Society members are dedicated to promoting the awareness of global cultural diversity in students and in the community. The International Festival will provide an opportunity for people of all ages to experience pastimes, traditions and food from all over the world in a carnival environment.

This year, the Society is drawing together elements from all previous events to create a night of cultural fun! Performers will include African drummers, Irish step dancers, martial arts experts, fences, and Niskayuna High School's Foreign Language Department. Additionally, booth activities will be running all night, with activities such as fortune telling and henna to international games such as Bocce and ping-pong. Exotic delicacies from places such as India, Latin America, China and the British Isles will also be on hand for attendees to sample.

This is the perfect opportunity to discover the world with friends and family. The International Festival will surely tickle your five senses!
