Packapalooza

Packapalooza™ is an all-day block party and street festival capping off Wolfpack Welcome Week at the start of the academic year. We have everything it takes to celebrate in NC State style, including great music, activities throughout the day, and fun entertainment for the whole family.

International Affairs coordinates the International Zone, located in front of the DH Hill Library. Come learn about the different cultures that make up our global community. We want YOU to be at home in the world here at NC State! Watch some of our amazing students as they perform and share talents from all the continents we call home. International student organizations and cultural community organization are invited to host a cultural table in the international zone. Vendor registration is required by August 11.

A signature component of the International Zone is the Parade of Flags. The parade kicks off at 2:30 in the International Zone. Students, faculty and community members are invited to sign up to carry a flag from the International Zone to the Belltower. The parade will be accompanied by NC State Pipes & Drums. Flags will be provided and traditional cultural clothing is encouraged. Participation is free, but registration is required.
