Hope College International Students Host Annual Food Fair on Feb. 28
The annual International Food Fair at Hope College will be held on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 6–8 p.m. in the Bultman Student Center on Hope’s campus.
The public is invited. The food will be available in exchange for tickets sold at the door. Admission is $5 for an initial packet of five tickets, with additional tickets costing $.50 each. Most dishes cost two or three tickets.
The International Food Fair has been sponsored by the college’s international students for more than 30 years, and celebrates the many cuisines and cultures of the nations represented by members of the Hope community. Every year, the International Food Fair raises funds to support a cause and this year’s proceeds will support the Gateway Mission Women & Children's Center.
Hope students gather to cook a dish from their homeland. They will wear traditional attire in presenting their dishes, and individual tables will feature the food and educational displays concerning the cuisine and cultures. After attendants purchase tickets at the door, they’re invited to move from table to table, sampling the food and asking questions of students.
The Bultman Student Center is located in the center of campus, at 272 Columbia Ave, in Holland.
