UMW dance group performs at the Multicultural Fair this past weekend on one of three main stages spread throughout the Fredericksburg campus.
Over 20 different musical groups, dance troupes and cultural acts took the stage at the University of Mary Washington’s Multicultural Fair this past weekend, showcasing their talents across three main stages spread throughout the Fredericksburg campus.
Among the largest events the University hosts each year, the fair attracted thousands of attendees. Stretching as far as the eye could see along Campus Walk and Ball Circle – performers, vendors, information tables, food trucks and children’s activities were on display.
Now in its 35th year, the event was presented by the University’s James Farmer Multicultural Center (JFMC), in close collaboration with UMW student organizations, campus partners, faculty and staff, and the Fredericksburg community. The event was free and open to the public with food and crafts available for purchase.
“It’s wonderful each year to welcome such amazing international talent and craftsmanship to the beautiful UMW campus,” said JFMC Director Marion Sanford. “We are excited, not just about the variety of ethnic vendors and performers, but to continue our long tradition of bringing a global experience close to home.” Read more.
