From domestic violence to bullying and suicide, UB’s International Fiesta has been a platform for UB’s cultural organizations to bring awareness to pressing social issues through the art of dance.
Hosted by the Student Association, the annual competition will return Saturday at the Center for the Arts for the first time since its COVID-19-related cancellation in 2021. This year’s theme is “revival.”
In the past, the competition has drawn an audience of 1,500, selling out the CFA mainstage theater.
Previous winners of the competition include the Latin American SA in 2020, the Korean SA in 2019 and the Indian SA in 2018.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the competition will begin at 7 p.m. The event is free to UB undergrads.
