Cultural Diversity Fair

The University of Kentucky presents the 20th Cultural Diversity Festival, which aims to promote cultural awareness to the UK campus and Lexington community through a month of activities and events.

This year the festival offers approximately 30 events throughout the month of March to UK students, faculty, and staff, and is also hoping to reach out to the Lexington community more than ever before. Cultural Diversity Festival kicks off with International Talent Night at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 28 in Memorial Hall. This exciting event will feature entertainment by people from all over the world.

Taste of Our World will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. March 4 in the Grand Ballroom of the UK Student Center. This event features a diverse menu of culture-rich foods from across the continents.

Tickets will be sold at the door for each serving of the dishes from around the world. Tickets are $1 each or seven tickets for $5.

Payment will be accepted in cash, Plus Account or Flex Dollars. Saturday, March 28, the Cultural Diversity Festival will wrap up its month of events by hosting a community event at Woodland Park in Lexington.

"Party in the Park" will offer various recreational activities for people of all ages.
