A Feastival Full of Community
Under sunny skies in the early evening of September 22, a sold-out crowd of over 800 UBC students, faculty, staff, residents, alumni, and friends of UBC gathered at University Commons Plaza for a celebration of food, community, and culture.
This was the third year of Harvest Feastival (formerly known as Harvest Feast), an informal dinner followed by an array of art shows and exhibits.
We caught up with Mustafa Akhtar, Coordinator, Community Programs and Outreach with UBC Community Development, on his thoughts about Harvest Feastival.
