Preparations are in full swing for the latest International Family Fair celebrating global culture at the British School of Bahrain (BSB) which will be staged in the spring for the first time ever.
The ninth edition of the popular community extravaganza will take place on Friday, March 8, and start with a flag-flying parade around the school’s Hamala campus at 10am.
A big stage will be set up on the school’s AstroTurf sports fields and part of the entertainment programme planned with be teasing excerpts from the coming Shrek-inspired musical production.
Alongside all things British and Bahraini, visitors will also be able to enjoy a taste of The Netherlands, alongside country stalls highlighting the rich heritage of Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, China, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Sudan, India, Malaysia, Turkey, Lebanon, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela and Spain and others.
Students will also put on displays and performances dedicated to their homelands, alongside sporting activities and fun games. A marketplace with local entrepreneurs will also show off the enormous talent for arts and crafts in the kingdom.
There’s a BD1 entry fee to the fair and money raised will go towards the purchase of ‘wish list’ extras to support the students. All are welcome to attend and the event runs until 3pm.
