Multicultural Night:
The Turtle Rock Multicultural Event is Turtle Rock's way of celebrating the beauty and culture of each country represented in the Turtle Rock Elementary Community. On Friday, April 26th from 5:00-8:00 pm, our large outdoor stage and lunch area will be transformed into a Multicultural Festival including Country Tables, the Parade, Cultural Performances, Raffles, Potluck, and much more. Academic Challenge Multicultural Night project entries will be displayed throughout the night.
Cultural Booths:
Cultural booths are now forming. Booths are only made possible if volunteers like you to join in the fun! Volunteer at a booth, or grab a group of friends and start a booth to share your culture at the festival. We have many experienced volunteers, who are happy to help you showcase at this wonderful Turtle Rock event.
In 2018, these countries had booths: Turkey, China, India, Iran, Egypt, Romania, Russia, Venezuela, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Mexico, Germany, Philippines, Japan, France, Korea. We welcome any and countries to be represented at the event!
World Food Sampling Potluck
We hope everyone attending will bring a dish from their own culture or any dish that they enjoy to share at their table. This is not mandatory. However, kids and parents would have chance to taste from your country kitchen!
If you don’t have your country table, but still want to share your dish, our volunteers will serve your sample dish for you by displaying your country name with your dish at the multicultural food table.
Multicultural Parade at 5:15 pm - on Main stage:
Bring your cameras!!! Wear a traditional outfit from your heritage or any culture of your choice! Parade participants should plan to arrive by 4:55 pm on April 26th and meet in the Turtle Rock MPR to line up for the parade.
Cultural Show from 5:30-6:30 pm - performances will be in front of the outside stage (ALL participants must arrive between 4:30pm-5pm):
The festival stage features 1 hour of non-stop entertainment by our own Turtle Rock students, teachers and community members. Everyone is invited to showcase their heritage, or a heritage of interest, by performing a cultural act.
