How You Can Get Involved!

Food Tasting Stalls – Families can showcase small bites of their traditional food. Please ensure dishes are labeled with ingredients for allergy awareness.
Cultural Performances (Optional) – If you would like to share a part of your culture through dance, music, or storytelling, we would love to include you in our program!
Games and Crafts Corner – Fun, hands-on activities inspired by different cultural traditions for children to enjoy.

Please note: to ensure everything runs smoothly and to help us plan effectively, we kindly ask that you contact your country representative, as previously informed by email. This will give you the chance to discuss what has already been arranged and what still needs to be set up, making sure there’s enough food and activities for everyone.

Label Your Dishes, Share with Care

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all families, we kindly ask that all food items include clear labels indicating the presence of common allergens or dietary information, such as:

Dairy Products

Providing this information helps everyone make informed choices and allows us to celebrate together with care and consideration
