Fall Festival of Cultures:

Friday, October 19

6-8 p.m.

Join us for Meriwether Lewis's 4th Annual Fall Festival of Cultures, a celebration of world
cultures with food, crafts, games and performers from around the world. Play Korean chegi, flex
your international jump rope skills, and test your geography knowledge. Try Ghanian block
printing, writing your name in Viking runes, or wrapping a Jamaican rasta bracelet. Enjoy Chinese
ribbon dancers, a judo demonstration, and a lesson in traditional Indian Manipuri dance. Plus
sample authentic Romanian, Italian, Indian, Persian food and more! Save the date to enjoy these
and many other highlights!




International Rescue Committee Collection:

The Fall Festival of Cultures is sponsoring a collection of new (not used) school supplies and
children’s winter gear for the International Rescue Committee. The IRC resettles families in
Charlottesville year round, and your family can help ease that transition by donating coats,
backpacks, gloves, school supplies, and hats in the large IRC boxes in the front hall. The
collection will run from October 1-19. Thank you for your support!
