Global Bites by the Sea: A Culinary Journey of National Pride

Please note: To secure your spot, you must join InterNations and sign up for the event there.

Hey Global Minds!

July 4th might be famous for American summer picnics, but we’re using the date as a perfect excuse to celebrate summer holiday food traditions from all over the world! 🌍☀️

We’re gathering for an early afternoon of bites by the Marmara Sea, and we want to celebrate the dishes that mean "summer vacation" to you. Whether it’s an American potato salad, a refreshing Mediterranean mezze, a favorite childhood picnic snack, or a seasonal dessert, bring along the flavors you love to share when the weather gets warm.

🧺 How it works:

Bring a Dish - Pack a favorite summer snack, finger food, or dessert that reminds you of holidays, picnics, or sunny days back home (or from a favorite travels!).

BYO Comfort - We'll be setting up camp on the grass. Please bring your own picnic blankets or lawn chairs to stay comfortable. Exact spot TBD on Caddebostan Coast.

Drinks - Bring along your preferred refreshments to stay cool during a July afternoon by the seaside.

Let’s enjoy the summer breeze, share some incredible seasonal dishes, and connect with fellow expats and locals.
