Festival of Nations makes long-awaited return to Bemidji State

BEMIDJI - Hard work and determination of students in Bemidji State's International Student Organization resulted in a long-awaited return of a notable multicultural event this past weekend.

Transforming BSU's Beaux Arts Ballroom into a cultural oasis on Saturday evening, the annual Festival of Nations brought together over 200 campus and community members for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.

Upon arrival, attendees picked up their "passports" in which they could collect stickers representing different countries. Continuing in line, a range of international foods and beverages were available for those with the most adventurous palettes.
