our basketball players in white and orange uniforms with "Syracuse" written on the front are seen in a dynamic pose, possibly during a game or practice. They are holding towels and appear to be focused and ready for action. The background shows an indoor stadium with spectators and a large screen displaying information.

Following the All-Star Food Fest on March 2 at the JMA Wireless Dome, the Syracuse University women’s basketball team will play Boston College in its last home game of the regular season.

A unique experience awaits all children 12 and under at the Syracuse University women’s basketball game on Sunday, March 2. The All-Star Food Fest is an opportunity for children to experience international culture through food.

All children who have a ticket to the game are invited to arrive at the JMA Wireless Dome at 3 p.m. to taste test cuisine from eight countries and meet the student-athletes who handpicked the dishes. Each participant will receive a VIP pass and passport to learn about the student-athletes’ home countries and the food that is meaningful to them.

The All-Star Food Fest is a collaboration between Kalamata’s Kitchen, the Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, Campus Catering and Syracuse University Athletics.

Kalamata’s Kitchen encourages families to experience the world through adventures with food. The All-Star Food Fest will allow children to taste, smell, and learn about the foods that are special to the students, building a strong bond between the athletes and the young fans and fostering their curiosity for further food exploration.

The featured dishes include sausage rolls from Australia, bangers and mash from Ireland, rasta pasta from Jamaica, Käsespätzle from Germany, egg empanadas from Uruguay, chicken empanadas from Puerto Rico, poutine from Canada and jollof from Liberia.

The first 50 children to experience the All-Star Food Fest will meet the author of Kalamata’s Kitchen books, Sarah Thomas, and receive a signed copy of her book.

The All-Star Food Fest will conclude at 3:55 p.m., leading into the Orange women’s 4 p.m. basketball game against Boston College and the program’s Senior Day. The Orange will honor its six departing seniors, Georgia Woolley, Saniaa Wilson, Kyra Wood, Izabel Varejão, Dominique Camp, and Lexi McNabb, during a postgame Senior Day ceremony.

Tickets for the basketball game, which includes a free All-Star Food Fest passport for children ages 12 and under, are available at www.Cuse.com.
