The 8th Annual Kathmandu Festival is Coming!
Sat., Sept. 15 and Sun., Sept. 16, 2012, 10a – 5p
Veterans Memorial Hall in Sonoma
The Kathmandu Festival is a celebration of the diverse cultures of Nepal, Tibet and India through traditional Himalayan music and lively dance performances. Festival-goers shop in a colorful marketplace with jewelry, clothing, art, antiques and crafts for sale; enjoy mouth-watering momos and other traditional fresh-cooked cuisine; and relax with yoga classes and healing arts demonstrations. A photo gallery displays the unique places and faces of Nepal, home to Mount Everest.
A silent auction and hourly raffles will be held for fine dining, weekend getaways and other prizes from some of the Sonoma Wine Country’s best venues. All proceeds from the event benefit Children’s Medical Aid Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing corrective surgery for Nepalese children with birth defects, and building medical clinics to serve impoverished families in rural areas of Nepal.
For more information about the Festival, including exhibitor and volunteer info, please contact Children’s Medical Aid Foundation at (707) 938-1807 or childmedaid@gmail.com.
