Feast of Nations

Feast of Nations is an annual event celebrating culture and showcasing diversity from around the world.  

The University of North Dakota’s first-ever Feast of Nations was held in 1961. Organized by students in UND’s International Organization, it began as a small gathering where students prepared a shared meal to celebrate and exchange their cultures. Since then, Feast of Nations has grown into the region’s largest multicultural event, showcasing talented and unique performers from around the world who travel to UND to share a piece of their heritage.

Guests can enjoy breathtaking cultural performances, a multi-course international meal, live music, and colorful displays of cultural attire. Attendees can also visit a variety of cultural tables — with the chance to win a pair of unlimited-entry visas to Folklorama.

Feast of Nations highlights the rich cultural heritage that shapes UND's community and is proudly presented by UND and the student-led International Organization.
