BUFFALO, N.Y. -- For those who couldn't get away for a vacation this winter, International Fiesta 2001, being held April 6 at the University at Buffalo, may be just the ticket.

The fiesta, which is open to the community, will be held in the Student Union Social Hall on the UB North Campus.

It will celebrate its 28th anniversary with a dinner at 5 p.m. featuring ethnic foods from 20 countries.

Showtime will follow at 7 p.m., when members of the culturally diverse UB student clubs provide music and entertainment, including belly dancing, Caribbean reggae dancing, ribbon dancing from China, the hopak folk dance from the Ukraine and martial-arts demonstrations from southeast Asia.

The event will be sponsored by UB's Student Association.

Tickets, at a cost of $5, are available at the Student Union Ticket Office.
