Are you a Mississippi State student that wants to do something different during Super Bulldog Weekend? You might want to check out the 15th annual Cotton District Arts Festival on April 17th. The event will features various regional artisans, and international and wellness displays along with a 5K run.

The International Village will be home to a wide variety of international arts and activities from around the world. A few of the activities include Iranian tea tasting, Kanji (Japanese symbolic lettering) character writing, and cultural presentations from China and The Philippines.

Highlighting the wellness portion of the event is the scenic Old Cotton Mill 5K run. Since this is an arts festival, Prizes in the form of masterful pottery pieces will be awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age group. Is running not your cup of tea? Then you might be interested in visiting Phiddipede’s Health Village, which will host several health and wellness exhibits including exercise specialists, nutrition experts, and chemical free cleaning.
