Representatives from various embassies, governments and institutions will be on hand to present their respective cultures and shed light on the rich traditions and cuisines of the French speaking world.
In addition, in solidarity with the Haitian people, a special raffle prize of two round-trip tickets to Tahiti will be featured. Proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross emergency relief and recovery efforts in Haiti.
