SCAD International Festival

 

Each year, the Savannah College of Art and Design makes yet another unique cultural contribution to the Lowcountry landscape with its multicultural celebration of diversity, the SCAD International Festival.

In 2008, the 10th annual SCAD International Festival was held on Saturday, April 5, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. on Broughton Street, between Lincoln and Abercorn streets. The event is always free and open to the public.

The 2008 event featured traditional music, dance, art and food to celebrate the diversity of SCAD’s international arts community. Among the festival highlights were a performance by Soweto Street Beat dance company, a global fashion showcase, and reggae sensations Mystik NRG.
Other festival events included salsa dancing, Moroccan belly dancing, performances by African drummers, and a classical Peruvian dance troupe. Arts and crafts were also available for purchase.

The “Taste of the World” dining experience offers visitors the chance to taste cuisine from around the world. Participating restaurants providing samples for minimal cost included Sushi Zen, Taste of India, Carlito’s Mexican Bar and Grill, Casbah Moroccan Restaurant, and Middle East Cuisine.

The annual festival is sponsored by SCAD’s international student services office, the Intercultural Student Association and Coca-Cola.
