Food From Many Nations

By
Star Staff

Food representing more than 25 countries and performances reflecting a range of cultures are planned for the Sag Harbor Multicultural Festival, which will be held tomorrow from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Pierson High School gym.

Parents of Sag Harbor students and supporters of the festival from around the area have signed on to prepare recipes representing their heritage, which will be served to guests from 6 to 7:45 p.m., after which the performances will begin. Among the tasting options will be dishes from Japan, El Salvador, Poland, Mexico, Peru, New Zealand, Russia, Norway, Bali, and Costa Rica. Performances planned include taiko drummers from Stony Brook University, Irish step dancing, Mexican folkloric dancing, and a martial arts demonstration.

The suggested donation is $5 per family. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

All proceeds will be split between the Jacaranda School in Malawi and the Joshua Levine Memorial Foundation. Cheryl Bedini, a co-owner of Java Nation coffee roaster in Bridgehampton and the mother of two Sag Harbor students, is among the event’s main organizers.
