International Bazaar 2026
The Haenicke Institute for Global Education announces International Bazaar 2026, hosted by the International Student Council. Join us April 4 for an evening of food, culture and celebration from around the world.
All are invited to this community event, scheduled for 4 to 9 p.m. in the WMU Student Center. Admission is free, and food and drink tickets can be purchased at the door.
At the event students prepare dishes from their home countries, perform cultural dances and host interactive booths. Local groups and businesses also join the celebration. There is freshly prepared food, live music, handcrafted goods and cultural dance and dress.
“The International Bazaar is not just a celebration of cultures and traditions. I believe it is also a celebration of the diverse community of students that we have here at Western,” says Nayab Tufail, a undergraduate engineering major from Pakistan and president of the International Student Council.
“So many of our international students have flown in from countries that are thousands of miles away, and the International Bazaar creates a space where they can share their heritage, stories and traditions with pride.”
