Celebration of Flavors
Join Friends of Meridian on Friday, February 27, 2026, for the 5th Annual International Celebration of Flavors: Sips, Samples & Silent Auction—an evening of global bites, drinks, and community fun! This adult's kick-off event for Meridian's International Week hosted by the Friends of Meridian!
This year, we’re taking your taste buds on a trip around the world with food and drinks representing six regions: Thailand, Portugal, Mexico, Italy, Ethiopia, and Canada. Enjoy a hand-picked selection of wines curated by a former sommelier (and Meridian 2nd grade parent!) along with a variety of spirit-free options. Enjoy dishes and challenges from area restaurants, local chefs, and the event chef!
