This is what the Harvard Foundation describes this event: “Each year the Harvard Foundation sponsors a cultural festival which involves some thirty student groups of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and which celebrates Harvard’s cultural diversity through student performances and ethno-cultural cuisine. This event is attended by over two thousand students. Each year the students and faculty of the Harvard Foundation select a distinguished performing artist as Artist of the Year. The 2008 Harvard Foundation Artist of the Year has not yet been announced.”
