Produced by the Student Board of The Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS), CulturalFest provides an opportunity for students and scholars from more than 35 countries to share art and cultural items from their home countries. Visitors browse country booths, try international activities, and talk with students during the day, when the booths are free and open to the public and to field trips from local schools.

In the evening, more than 1,000 guests are expected to enjoy music and dance performances of both traditional and modern artists from around the world. 2011 CulturalFest Performers are:
