The MPA Parents Association invites you to Cultural Celebration Day on Wednesday, April 9 from 3:15-5:30 PM in the Family Commons! Engage with community members who will be sharing their cultural heritage. Enjoy sweet and savory rice dishes from around the world, an international tea bar, and experience beautiful music and dance performances!
Go home with some cool body art from an expert henna artist, try your hand at global crafts, learn how to make masala chai (spiced tea from India), and chat with community members who will have booths set up to share their culture and/or offer samples of their cuisine.
Feel the spirit and joy of African culture with Fatawu Sayibu at our West African Drum and Dance Workshop! All are welcome to learn basic djembe drumming techniques as well as simple movements rooted in African daily life and experience. Learn the steps to Bhangra, a traditional Punjabi folk dance that has become a global and cultural phenomenon.
Food and drink tickets ($1 each) will be sold at the event. Zabiha, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are available.
Interested in volunteering on the day of the event? Sign up here!
