Welcome to International Festival!
Explore different cultures, celebrate your community, build new connections
Being part of the UCL community means being surrounded by an extraordinary mix of nationalities, cultures and perspectives. From Monday 16 - Friday 20 November, we're bringing it all to International Festival.
Come along, get involved and find joy in what brings us together. Celebrate the cultures that make UCL special and be part of a week that showcases the very best of our vibrant, global community.
Monday 16 - Friday 20 November
Expect the heart of campus to come alive with a week of cultural celebrations, as we bring our global community together. Experience henna for the first time, discover a love of salsa, or find something familiar in another culture’s food. We hope these moments will spark conversations, reveal connections and inspire you to learn more about each other.
In an increasingly polarised world, it's never been more important to come together, share our ideas, our heritage and celebrate what makes us different.
Friday 20 November
