Flavors of the world will abound at LCS World Fair Dec. 14
THE U.K. BOOTH featured sausage rolls with festive flags at last year’s fair.
ONIGIRI rice balls were among the delicious food selections at the Japanese booth at LCS’s 2023 World Fair.
The Larchmont Charter School (LCS) World Fair and Bake Sale returns on Sat., Dec. 14. The event, which celebrates the diversity of the school and the city of Los Angeles, will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the LCS campus at 1265 N. Fairfax Ave.
This family-friendly event is open to the public and invites attendees to take a trip around the world without leaving the city. The cultures, people and music of diverse countries will be highlighted, and games, native foods, drinks, activities, entertainment and bounce houses will delight fairgoers.
This year’s food booths are not yet finalized, but last year, booths representing Korea, Japan, Latin America, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Philippines, North America, American soul food and the school’s edible schoolyard were present.
While the fair serves as a fundraiser, a primary goal is to celebrate diversity while building community in a fun, inclusive way.
The 2023 World Fair attracted an estimated 500 people. This year’s attendees will again be given a “passport” upon entering the front gate, which they will fill out as they visit various booths — each representing a country of origin of enrolled LCS families.
New to this year’s event will be pop-up shops featuring student-made products for sale in time for the holiday season.
Bake sale
Returning in conjunction with World Fair, Larchmont Charter School’s annual bake sale will provide not just baked goods, but other foods made by the school community’s many talented chefs. They contribute favorite family recipes that are available for pre-order and can be picked up at the fair. The menu will be available at larchmontcharter.org/bakesale.
Tickets for World Fair can be purchased at larchmontcharter.org/worldfair, or at the event.
