The Syosset Central School District is pleased to share the details of its annual Multicultural Festival, back this year after a pandemic hiatus. The event invited all high school students, faculty, and staff to go “around the world” sampling cuisine and learning about 21 countries represented in our diverse community.
The PTSA worked with more than two dozen local vendors, who generously donated trays of food for our community. Attendees sampled everything from Arroz Con Pollo to Spanikopita to chicken fingers. There were many variations of noodles, rice dishes, authentic beverages, and desserts to sample as well. Thousands of people attended the festival, filing into the gym, eager to explore different cultures and savor familiar and unfamiliar cuisine from around the world. To ensure those with food allergies could enjoy the festivities, ingredients were posted at each table, and our allerg friendly table was stocked with foods to safely accommodate those with the most restrictive diets.
The multicultural festival first began in 2016 with eight countries represented. Since then, it’s become an event to look forward to in the High School community, expanding each year. After two years off due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the festival came back with a bang.
Special thanks to the members of our PTSA for donating their time in the planning and execution of this amazing event. We’d also like to thank our vendors for their generosity: Anthony’s, Ben’s Deli, Celebrity Diner, Chris & Tony’s, Dugan’s Sandwich Shop, El Parral, Frantoni’s, George White, Golden Temple, Halal City, Hanamaru Japanese mart, Hurricane wings, Iavarone Brothers, Krinti, La Cantina Bay, Lia’s Pizza, Mario’s of Oyser Bay and Syosset, On Parade Diner, Phil’s Pizza, Platia, Qdoba, Sabeli’s, Spice Hub, Super FL Mart, The One and Woodbury Deli.
