Each fall, the International Society of Huntsville and UAH present the ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF NORTH ALABAMA!

This one-day, family-friendly spectacular―Open to the Public―features a wealth of global performances, from folk dance and traditional instrumentals to ethnic song and martial arts demonstrations; food trucks – a festival favorite; FREE hands-on children’s games and crafting; an Open Air Market; and table displays featuring cultural artifacts, travel/historic literature, handicrafts, native apparel, educational videos, and so much more…from around the world!

The autumnal event takes place on a Saturday on the grounds and in the buildings of UAH...and charges NO admission.

Several of the school’s organizations assist in co-sponsoring the Festival, but the real source of power comes from the volunteers within the North Alabama community, particularly those associated with transnational organizations. Nations as diverse as Poland, India, the Caribbean Islands, China, Pakistan, Ireland, Australia, Korea, Turkey, Guatemala, Egypt, Ukraine, and more have been represented…and each year is bigger and better than the last. The Spotlight Nations for 2017 are PANAMA and NIGERIA!
