Symbolic masks, arts and crafts, children’s activities and traditional foods, along with prayer flags and expert speakers illuminate the culture’s foundation in Buddhism. Presented by the Tibetan Association.

COLORS OF THE TIBETAN CULTURE: Two most favored colors of Tibetans are Yellow and blue. MOST POPULAR FOODS: The traditional staple food of Tibet is Tsampa, roasted barley flour mixed with Tibetan yak-butter tea or it can be eaten in any form and with anything. Tibetans like to eat Yak meat and mutton because meat can provide enough energy to withstand cold in the high elevation areas. Yogurt and milk sediment are popular. The half-mooned shaped Momo, theTibetan "Ravioli or dumpling," is the most famous and popular food. GREATEST SOURCE OF CULTURAL PRIDE: The greatest source of cultural pride is in kindness, compassion and love, intertwined in the Tibetan culture. LIVELIHOOD: Subsistence agriculture and services.
