The International Show is an annual performance showcasing the cultural diversity of Trinity’s students. The event is organized by the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) and the International House (iHouse) as part of Trinity’s International Week.

Beginning in 2005, the annual International Week initiative was originally an event designed to bring together students and faculty from a variety of countries and provide education about the international programs and study abroad opportunities offered by Trinity’s Global Learning Sites. The International Show has been part of the week-long celebration since its inception. The show begins with a flag-walk in which flags from across the world are carried in a parade of international students. After the performances, a meal of a variety of dishes from different countries is offered to attendees and performers. The student performances have included Bollywood dances, Irish step-dance, African dance, Puerto Rican love poems, Spanish flamenco, Japanese jiu-jitsu, Rwandan folk songs, Armenian orchestral music, German opera, American indigenous song, and K-Pop.
