Crossing generations, people young and old learned the traditional folkloric dance with Dabkeh lessons and the youth of the community performed each day showing many slices of the Lebanese culture through dance. An expansive food court provided a feast of Lebanese dishes and the opportunity for the community to join in and share a part of culture past and present.
