ICR: IACA International Festival Pt. 1

This past Friday, I volunteered at the Indianapolis International Festival for my ICR as a part of the Indiana Association of Chinese Americans. Myself and a few other classmates worked the 7-9 PM shift and I personally really enjoyed the experience. We got there and there wasn’t much of a crowd, but this made it easier for us to walk around to all of the different cultural booths and explore the different foods and merchandise that the 40+ different cultures at the festival had to offer. There was so much food that I had never seen or heard of before. Cam tried a Turkish gyro that looked fantastic and there were homemade German sausages that looked delicious as well. The authentic Taiwanese food looked tasty as well with the variety of chicken dishes and rice noodle variations.There were also performances being put on by the different cultures on stage that we were able to watch in our time there. Three ladies performed an ancient Japanese dance that was very interesting and another young lady from South Korea performed a cultural dance as well. Our two hours went by quite fast but it was a very fun time.
