BATTLEFORD — Battleford Alex Dillabough Centre hosted “A Taste of Culture” May 30 and 31, drawing 6,000 participants.

This was the 10th anniversary of the celebration hosted by Battleford Immigration Resource Centre.

Jerry Andos, co-ordinator of the resource centre’s Community Connection initiative, spearheaded the event.

 Andos has been at the helm of this event for four years. Originally from Dubai, he has a background as a theatre animator, where he honed his skills in role-playing, dance, acting and singing.

“I love planning events, working with people, and performing on stage,” he shared, emphasizing his commitment to bringing the community together through shared cultural experiences.

This year, attendees were treated to new attractions, including an Egyptian food booth that offered authentic recipes from a family with roots in that rich culinary tradition. The feast didn't stop there; the event showcased an impressive lineup of 10 food trucks from coast to coast across Canada.

The event featured over 25 market vendors and two large bounce houses for children to enjoy. With over 30 talented performers taking the stage, the event provided non-stop entertainment, featuring a dynamic array of cultural dances and music celebrating the beauty of cultures from around the world.

“My goal is to create an event that connects people,” Andos said.
