The Department of Modern Languages is hosting its annual festival for poetry, music and dance. Some Texas State students and faculty participated in reading poems, singing and enjoyed light refreshments while others came to watch. The theme for the festival was centered around peace in honor of Facundo Cabral who died earlier this year. He was an Argentinean singer and songwriter designated as the worldwide messenger of peace, according to the New York Times. The festival ends tonight at 8 o'clock with Latin American dances.
