Northwestern College to host Ethnic Fair

Northwestern College’s International Club will host its annual Ethnic Fair on Saturday, March 28. Area residents will have the opportunity to experience ethnic dance, music and dress, as well as partake in an all-you-can-eat buffet serving foods from countries around the world prepared by Northwestern’s international students.

The international buffet will begin at 5 p.m. in the Rowenhorst Student Center gymnasium, with entertainment starting at about 5:30. The admission price including the buffet of international foods is $12 for community guests and $6 for children ages eight and younger. Those who are not eating—and Northwestern students—will be charged an entry fee of $1.

Included in the event is an ethnic fashion show spotlighting the authentic dress of the students’ countries. Additionally, there will be several dance performances, including Bollywood and African dances, multiple singing acts, and a performance by Northwestern’s improv group, Black V.

“The Ethnic Fair is an annual highlight for many in the Northwestern and Sioux County communities. The International Club is working hard to offer another great menu and variety show that celebrates the many cultures they bring to our region,” says Dr. Kevin McMahan, Northwestern’s associate dean for international affairs.

Northwestern’s International Club includes 33 students representing 25 countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin America and North America.
