The second International Street Fair is slated to bring a taste of culture to Edwardsville this weekend.
The Campus Activities Board is encouraging students to attend the free event set to begin at noon Saturday in the Edwardsville City Park.
CAB graduate assistant Gokul Kommineni said 20 vendors will be on hand with food and crafts while six music and dancing acts will perform.
"This is the opportunity students get to interact with different cultures," Kommineni said. "Also, they get to see what is going on with the Campus Activities Board."
Performances will range from African dance to Mexican music and last 45 minutes each, beginning at noon.
The St. Louis groups scheduled are Moja Moyo Group, Dancers of India, Sahara Sand Production, St. Nicholas Greek Dancers, Mexican Fiesta Trio and Tango El Compas.
Kommineni said vendors will sell Argentinean, Indian and Mexican food, as well as crafts and artifacts.
Shuttle buses will be available to students at each residence hall and Cougar Village in 45-minute increments, also beginning at noon.
