Parents can join a team on their favorite cuisine, prepare the food before the event, and help sell their dishes on the night to the other parents, with all proceeds supporting the Parents' Night 2025 fundraiser. All guests receive food vouchers at the entrance to enjoy the event and spend in any food stall they like.
