CultureFest underway at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda
CultureFest, an exhibit that "celebrates the rich diversity of our past" with a tour of European destinations, is now underway in the Nordstrom wing at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. A series of displays and events will offer activities, demonstrations, and Instagrammable selfie backdrops through October 13, 2019. Countries featured include Britain, France, Germany and Russia.
Every Friday and Sunday, David's Tea will host British Tea Time. L'Occitane will provide mini-facials and hand massages from the south of France. Try a free flatbread from California Pizza Kitchen. RSVP for a free Core and Cardio Conditioning Class on Sunday, September 29 at 9:30 AM, featuring international music.
"Countries featured include Britain, France, Germany and Russia."
ReplyDeleteWow, that's "diverse". The four empires that dominated the world in the 19th and 20th centuries, and killed and enslaved millions.
Non White Christian cultures will not Replace Robert Dyer

Will be an incredible addition to MoCo.
Yea sure you are. I’m sure Robert will spend many hours there. LOL
Delete@7:20: Back in the 19th Century, those diverse European cultures were sharing their diverse culture with other diverse cultures around the world. Something wrong with that? Isn't diversity great?
ReplyDeleteSome diversity, no Swedish,Nordic, or Spanish, representation. Westfield So White!

ReplyDeleteI wondered who was going to "go there." Last year, the launch year of this CultureFest at the mall, the countries represented were: China, India, Korea, Ethiopia, El Salvador.
