Tibet Festival

Momos, thukpa and laping are just some of the Tibetan foods that will grace buffet tables at the 16th annual Tibet Festival. This family-friendly gathering hosted by the Tibetan Association of Vermont invites locals to enjoy traditional foods, crafts, music, and cultural performances such as the Yak and Snow Lion dances. “This festival is our chance to share with our neighbors and friends a little of our rich and ancient culture,” writes association president Sonam Chophel in a press release. Established in 1992, the association serves approximately 160 Tibetans forced by Chinese oppression to leave their homes in the Himalays. Donations benefit the association.
