Events › Culture & Cuisine: Lunar New Year

Explore various cultures through food, music, and more with the Independence Regional Library!

In our program series Culture & Cuisine, participants will gain exposure to various cultures and countries by tasting foods from these communities. This program is a series and in each session teens will focus on a different country, region, or cultural celebration. For January we will be focusing on Lunar New Year celebrations.

In addition to tasting food, we will celebrate other cultural elements such as beverages, music, history, and geography. This immersive experience offers participants the opportunity to explore diverse cultures, music, traditions, and flavors while expanding their palates.

This program is suitable for teens ages 12-18. It will be facilitated by library staff. Although we do not require registration, space is limited, and seats are provided on a first come, first served basis.

Please note: This program involves food. Please reach out to Mary or Victoria in advance with any questions or concerns, especially regarding food allergies and dietary restrictions. Participants are expected to take responsibility for their needs, and library staff will do our best to accommodate, especially with advanced notice.
