Our Flagship Events

 

The Shawarma Shuffle
The Shawarma Shuffle is one of MEISA's flagship events that brings together UBC students to celebrate food, culture, and community. Held towards the end of the semester, this event is all about creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with food that evokes the comfort of home. Featuring a delicious spread of shawarma, falafel, hummus, and hot chai, the Shawarma Shuffle offers a taste of Middle Eastern and Indian street food culture. Alongside great food, attendees enjoy engaging games and a laid-back environment, making it a perfect way to wrap up the semester on a positive note.

Eid Waleema
Eid Waleema is one of MEISA's most cherished events, celebrating the spirit of Eid with a rich blend of cultural traditions. The event brings students together to enjoy the warmth and nostalgia of Iftar, with various traditional and comforting foods central to Eid celebrations. Alongside the delicious meal, attendees can experience intricate henna art, engage in friendly FIFA showdowns, and share in the joyful atmosphere of community and connection. Eid Waleema offers a space for the UBC community to celebrate Eid while honouring the diverse cultural practices that make this occasion special.
