Hear ye, hear ye! Thanks to a proclamation signed last month by Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, September 28, 2013 has officially been declared International Festival Day. The proclamation was issued in recognition of the joint efforts of The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and the International Society of Huntsville (ISH) to "demonstrate, educate, and promote the many countries and cultures" of the city with its annual International Festival of North Alabama.
