Vermont welcomes International Festival

December rings in the 28th Annual Vermont International Festival taking place in Burlington, and it is expected to attract visitor interest from across the state, including Colchester.

The multicultural event is sponsored by the Vermont Performing Arts League, a non-profit organization in existence since 1978. In a first for the event, it will be presented in a virtual format this year.

The festival typically has four components: performing arts, international crafts, food, and local community awareness. Food vendors bring a broad range of cultural delights to spectators. Participating restaurants of the past have included Dale Roca Argentinian Grille, Filipino American Community of Vermont, Café Vienna, Dosa Love, Lucky Chen’s, and Russian Table. Dozens of other food operators will also be on screen describing and displaying their cultural specialties from many countries.

Craft vendors will present gifts and authentic items from across the world. Ancient Moon brings chopsticks, silk fans, and Chinese coins. Cantuta Imports from Peru offers costumes and historical products. Tahiana Creation presents baskets, purses, and other handmade items.

Vendors often utilize services of local Print shops to prepare for large festivals and public events. For virtual events, graphic design is important for creating and communicating logos and other business imagery and messaging.

The Vermont International Festival will take place December 4 and 5. The organization is located at 294 N Winooski Ave. For more information, or to apply to participate, contact 802-863-6713. Volunteers are also needed.
