This year marked 64 years of the University’s Feast of Nations celebration.

Held each spring since the 1960s, and organized by students in UND’s International Organization, Feast of Nations is a showcase of cultural exchange, cuisine and entertainment that has grown into the region’s largest multicultural event.

And 2026 was yet another max-capacity night at the Alerus Center on Saturday, March 21.

UND photographers caught much of the action, presenting a colorful array of photos from the evening, themed for “Bridging Cultures, Building Community.”

Organizers of the 64th Annual Feast of Nations would like to thank its sponsors: UND International Organization, UND Student Government, UND Student Organization Funding Agency, Livewire and the University of North Dakota.
