This marked the 13th annual multicultural at Lincoln Land. It was full of fun and creative booths from Africa to Poland to Latin America to India. Also the clubs were promoting what they do too like student government who encouraged you to get an application to be a part of their team.
One of the big highlights from the Multicultural Fest was the all different kinds of foods that could be tasted. One of the most delicious was, Omar’s Latin Fusion which was stewed chicken, Pico de Gallo with chips and cheese sauce. Other interesting dishes were, Clay’s Popeye’s BBQ with pulled pork and greens, Kingsway’s African and Caribbean Cuisine with jerk chicken, jollof rice and plantains. More familiar ethic dishes included, Palermo’s pasta with sauce and salad, Hunan Lo Mein noodles and mini egg rolls and Flavor of India with Butter chicken and Naan (bread).
But the multicultural fest was about more than just the food. It showcased booths from all different countries. India showcased florals in beautiful art. Poland showcased a map of their country and displayed dolls that wore costumes from different periods of time. For example, one the dolls costume was based on the Polish Lancer uniform of the Napoleonic War.
LLCC students Kenzie Minor and Barbara Gannar said that this was their first time attending the Multicultural Fest and they thought it was really cool. Minor’s favorite part of the fest was “the art that India showcased.” Both students proclaimed that they would come back again next year.
All and all this was a very enjoyable event that brought many cultures together to eat, learn and most importantly have fun!
