It was a celebration of cultures from around the world today at Wright State University.
More than 1,000 people experienced the international food, live music and dance and other entertainment from across the globe during the 33rd annual Wright State International Festival held at the Nutter Center.
The festival is sponsored by the university’s international education students and staff.
“There’s such a vibrant community here in Dayton .. and not just at Wright State. It’s something our students are very passionate about. ... They’re here directly experiencing American culture and this is a great opportunity to share their culture with the greater Dayton community,” said Jonathon Henderson, WSU’s program director for international student support.
The event also featured a flag parade and a performance by the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company.
