For the third time this year, the Connecting Cultures Festival returns at Campus Woudestein returns during the yearly Week of the International Experience!
Food fair
Nothing connects people like the universal language of food. Last year the food fair consisted of stands from over 25 international student associations. Join us to discover tastes from all over the world: from savory to sweet, and everything in between.
Ticket information: how it works
When you reserve a ticket, you’ll receive a stamp card at the entrance of the Food Fair. This card gives you the chance to try three different bites or drinks from various stands. To make sure you get a stamp card, we recommend ordering your free ticket in advance and picking it up between 15:00 and 15:30. After that time, unclaimed tickets will be released for door sales.
Tip: Arrive early! There should be plenty of food, but it’s first come, first served. Once the food is gone, it’s gone. Even if you don’t get a stamp card, you are more welcome to join and enjoy the atmosphere!
