Please Share your Culture at the Multicultural Bazaar!!
All those interested are invited to participate in the Multicultural Bazaar. Please share information about your culture by setting up a display at Coe during multicultural week - Jan 24-27. We will provide tables and signs with your country name printed.
The Multicultural Bazaar tables will be on display all week this year during multicultural week. The evening celebration will be on Jan 27 at Coe. That evening, the atrium is transformed into a “bazaar” of the rich cultures that make up our community. While the beat of world music rings in the halls of Coe, the exotic spices of cuisine from around the world waft through the atrium!
The Multicultural Bazaar has grown from a few tables a couple of years ago to 25 tables last year. It is an important part of our annual celebration of cultures at Coe that takes place every year.
