Around the World Food Festival


This post was written by Lemi, an intern that has joined Pinnacol’s Employee Services Team for 6 weeks from the DPS CareerLaunch Internship Program. Lemi was heavily involved in the preparation for this annual company-wide event, from creating educational posters for each country, to capturing all of the international food offerings in a unique and fun menu, to assisting with set up and tear down on the day of the event.


Every year our Diversity Task Force brings our employees a taste of food from all different parts of the world. The event, “Around the World Food Festival” takes place each summer, and it just keeps getting better and better.

The team representing Japan served sushi, chicken Yakitori
and Japanese candies.
This year, we saw our Pinnacol chefs represent 14 different countries with cultural décor and delicious food.  It's a unique experience for our employees who can taste different kinds of international food and always draws in a big crowd with 340 attendees enjoying the festivities.
Thanks to our chefs, Diversity Task Force and all others who contributed to this amazing event.  This festival brought many workers together from different departments to enjoy food and to get to know each other.  This is just one of many things that makes Pinnacol unique and diverse.
