Marco Island Academy’s favorite tradition, Festival of Nations, is approaching! The Friday before Thanksgiving, students and teachers have the opportunity to try foods from various cultures. Each student, staff and admin are encouraged to make a food from any culture and bring it into school for everyone to try! Tables will be lined up across the gym, each one covered in delicious food and drinks from different countries.

Some of the food that is featured in this event comes from countries such as Germany, Spain, Italy, etc. The list goes on and on but there’s a wide variety of items for all students to try. 

A huge part of The Festival of Nations includes the performances that take place throughout the event. The Academy of Rock will take the stage and perform a sequence of songs as a form of entertainment as the students try each and every food option from the different countries. Not to mention the students who perform on the stage throughout the event as well. 

Overall, the Festival of Nations is a great way to learn about and appreciate other cultures.
