The festival will feature diverse international dishes prepared by MSSU students, faculty, staff, and community members, alongside offerings from local restaurants Magic Noodle and Taste of Italy.

Kufura, a local Zimbabwean-inspired marimba band, will headline the event, with additional performances by MSSU students from Nepal, India, and Mexico. Missouri Southern is proud to provide an immersive celebration of global traditions.
“The World Music & Cuisine Festival has become a beloved event on MSSU’s campus, and in the Joplin community,” said Aaron Carmichael, MSSU’s Intensive English Program Director.
“It gives MSSU a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to Global Education by highlighting the different countries and cultures represented by our diverse student body, faculty, staff, and community. It brings everyone together to share wonderful food and music and allows participants to experience the world without leaving Joplin. This is the 11th year for the festival, and we hope to continue it for years to come.”
The World Music & Cuisine Festival brings people together through shared cultural experiences. It showcases the role of food and music as universal, deeply human sources of connection across borders. Proceeds from the event support Missouri Southern’s International Club, which helps connect and support international students as they study at MSSU.
