What Is Food Fest?
Food Fest is BYU–Hawaii’s beloved annual fundraising event where student clubs showcase the flavors of their cultures through food. Each booth features a unique dish inspired by traditions from around the world, giving participants a chance to savor international cuisines in one place.
More than just a food fair, Food Fest fosters cultural exchange, community spirit, and global unity. Attendees enjoy a lively atmosphere with music, mingling, and cultural pride, all while supporting student clubs in their fundraising efforts. From bold, savory dishes to sweet, comforting treats, Food Fest is a celebration of both flavor and community.
