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.

The annual SCAD International Festival takes place on a closed-off city block of Broughton Street, between Lincoln and Abercorn streets. The event is always free and open to the public. There is always plenty of fun and entertainment, and unique arts and crafts are available for purchase.

The event features traditional music, dance, art and food to celebrate the diversity of SCAD’s international arts community. Among the festival highlights are special performances by wonderful entertainers.

In 2008, performers included Soweto Street Beat dance company, and reggae sensations Mystik NRG.

Other festival events include salsa dancing, Moroccan belly dancing, performances by African drummers and a classical Peruvian dance troupe.

The “Taste of the World” dining experience offers visitors the chance to taste cuisine from around the world. Participating restaurants, include the Casbah Moroccan Restaurant, which is located on Broughton Street near the event.

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