Multicultural Fair Celebrates Food, Music and Culture From Around the Globe
Sage Hill School will open its campus to the community for a day of food and festivities at the 17th Annual Multicultural Fair on Saturday, March 17 from 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The School will transform into a global village as visitors enjoy authentic international food booths, lively cultural entertainment, an ethnic bazaar, a philanthropic marketplace run by Sage Hill students and hands-on craft making.
Multicultural Fair Co-Chairs Niv Pidaparty and Sarah Yang said the World Crafts area will encourage guests of all ages to participate in fun activities such as henna tattoos, face painting, Japanese and dragon crafts, creating hardware jewelry and more. A vibrant ethnic bazaar will beckon with souvenirs – colorful jewelry, unique purses and handmade goods – from all over the world. There will also be a photo booth with props and costumes from different countries.
The event will feature a continual lineup of entertainment that celebrates music and movement from around the globe, as well as America’s own cultural heritage. Student and faculty performers will be joined by professional artists from the extended community for a lineup that includes Chinese lion performances, Irish and mariachi dancing, student bands and more.
New to the international food booths this year will be flavors of Bosnia, Israel, Africa and the Caribbean. Visitors can stroll along the plaza where freshly prepared tastings from China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Persia, Vietnam, Japan and Poland will also be available. The event will also include an international dessert and snack booth, with featured desserts from Ecuador, Sweden, Austria, Turkey, Canada, Greece, England, Norway, the Philippines and more.
Admission is $5 per person; free for children ages 5 and younger. Food tickets are $1 each. Most food items are priced at two to four tickets per serving.
In the event of rain, please check the Sage Hill website for possible cancellation or start delay information.
