The festival’s creative side shone through with art competitions, bracelet making, cupcake decoration, henna drawing, and a hands-on Soap Production Workshop—inviting students to explore their artistic and DIY talents.
Food lovers were treated to a delicious variety at the International Food Bazaar, where students proudly shared dishes from their home countries. The experience was made even sweeter with ice cream, barbecue, bubble tea and colorful desserts that added flavor and flair to the festivities.
Throughout the day, music from the IUS Music Club and guest DJ Mr. Rager together with IUS rising star Emira Nur Muftić created an upbeat and festive atmosphere, keeping energy levels high and encouraging everyone to dance, laugh, and make the most of every moment.
