FOOD & Sustainability

Get ready for a delicious BBQ feast and a sustainable experience!
We'll be serving up mouthwatering merguez (halal), hot dogs, crispy French fries, and tasty vegetarian options like frittata, salads, and cheese.

But that’s not all! Ice cream will be on hand to delight both young and old, and for the grown-ups, we’ll have coffee, beer, and wine available for purchase.

Let’s keep it green! For a more sustainable event, please bring your water bottle to refill at the event. If needed, we’ll provide paper cups to reuse throughout the day. Our RochamBIO squad will be on-site in their green shirts to help you sort your waste and maximize recycling.

Bring your appetite and join us for a fun, flavorful, and eco-friendly day!

PARTNER BOOTHS

Join the Fun at Our Community Event!

Swing by the Rochambeau Boutique, meet our RochamBIO association and PAR, and enjoy Les Lumières de Rochambeau Literary Magazine brought to you by our students!

It's also still time to order your 23-24 Yearbook and pick it up at the event ;)

Live music will be performed by our talented teachers John and Laurence!

Don't forget to capture the moment at our photobooth! Create lasting memories with photo souvenirs.

Plus, explore booths from our amazing vendors and associations:

There’s something for everyone—don’t miss out!
