Royal Brougham. April 10, 6 p.m.
Ready to explore and gain a new understanding of world culture? Then this year’s Hello Festival is the place to be. Featuring a strong emphasis on travel, the festival will allow you to learn about new cultures and better connect with the diverse student body of Seattle Pacific University.
“Students can expect to interact and learn about our intercultural clubs on campus through interactive conversations with the club leaders,” ASSP’s Multi-Ethnic Student Officer Victor Soriano said.
“At each booth there will be food and drinks for sale that aims to provide financial support for intercultural clubs the upcoming school year, allowing them to host more events on campus.”
Hello Festival will feature performances from the Pacific Islander Club of Cultural Arts and Ohana, SPU’s Hawaii focused club. Additionally, The Seattle Kung Fu Studio will have a Lion Dance and Kung Fu Demonstration. To top it all off, a DJ will perform during the entire event. If you’re ready to explore the world, Hello Festival is right for you. The event is free, but it is encouraged to bring cash if you’re interested in purchasing anything from any clubs.
