Get ready for a trip around the world at the sixth annual Schoolcraft College Multicultural Fair on Wednesday, March 28. The fair continues from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the DiPonio Room, and will feature exhibits from various countries, samples of indigenous foods and entertainment.

The fair is free, and community members are invited to join the 2,000 expected visitors.

New this year is a large display showing wedding traditions from around the world that was prepared by an English as a Second Language class. For $10, visitors also can buy a cookbook of international recipes, gathered from the Schoolcraft community and printed by the International Institute.

Among the two dozen cultural displays are exhibits from Brazil, Canada, Eritrea, France, India, Iraq, Ireland, Korea, Lebanon, the Philippines, Romania, Poland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Syria and Russia. The displays are the work of students, faculty, staff, family and members of the community.

The entertainment begins at 10:45 a.m. with international songs from the kindergarten class at the Children’s Center. At 11, Tahitian dancers take the stage, and at noon, the Marcus Garvey Drum and Dance Ensemble will perform. The group is made of high school students from the Marcus Garvey Academy and other Detroit area schools. They perform exciting music in the African drumming tradition.

Also on tap is Ta’amullat, a folkloric dance group performing pieces from North Africa, the Near East and Central Asia. Schoolcraft students will perform Native American flute music and traditional Indian dances, and a group called Tinikling will demonstrate Philippine dancing with bamboo sticks. Henna painting will be available at the Indian display.

The Multicultural Fair is cosponsored by the International Institute, Student Activities and Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society.

Schoolcraft College is a public two-year college, offering classes at the Livonia campus on Haggerty Road between Six and Seven Mile roads, at the Radcliff Center in Garden City and online.
