The 2026 Vesak Food Fair and Student Master Chef Grand Finals is a single-day community celebration at Pal Buddhist School's Leppington Campus on May 9, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event features over 20 multicultural food stalls, a live cooking competition with 15 students competing for the champion title where visitors taste and vote, student performances, Buddhist ceremonies, games, raffles, and distinguished guest speakers. It honors Vesak by promoting generosity and the Buddha's teachings, with all proceeds funding Australia's first Buddhist primary and high school in Leppington. Free entry welcomes families, offering fun activities for children and a diverse, inclusive atmosphere.
