A Taste of the Arts

Friday, December 5, 2025

We are excited to invite you to be part of A Taste of the Arts, the Lake Park Educational Foundation’s newly reimagined signature event (formerly The Night of Fine Dining & Theatre), taking place on Friday, December 5, 2025, at Lake Park High School’s East Campus.

This elegant evening will showcase a winter tasting menu prepared and served by our talented culinary students, musical entertainment from our Band & Choir Jazz Ensembles, a silent auction, a festive performance of A Christmas Carol with reserved seating, and more! It promises to be a memorable night that brings together community, creativity, and support for Lancer students!
