ALBANY, GA --
Students munched on diverse foods, listened to cultural music and watched native performances at Darton College's 2012 International Festival.

This year's theme was "Spice it Up!" and encouraged students to learn about 34 different cultures including Mexico, Morocco, China and more.

Diana Garner of the International Studies says this is a great way for both American and International students to embrace other cultures which is very important.

At the end of the day after all of the performances -- including belly dancing with fire -- are over, an award for best country will be named.
