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.
