Experience the exotic sights, sounds and flavors of Nepal and the Himalayas at the 7th Annual Katmandu Festival, to be held Saturday, Sept. 10th and Sunday, Sept. 11th, 11 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Hall, 126 1st Street West in Sonoma (just two blocks north of Sonoma Plaza).
The Festival celebrates the diverse cultures of Nepal, Tibet and India through traditional Himalayan music and lively dance performances. Stroll through a colorful marketplace with jewelry, clothing, art, antiques and crafts for sale. Enjoy mouth-watering momos and other traditional fresh-cooked cuisine, and relax with a healing arts demonstration. A photo gallery will immerse festival-goers in the unique places and faces of Nepal, home to Mount Everest.
A $10 suggested donation will be accepted at the entrance. There will be a silent auction and hourly raffles for fine dining, weekend getaways and other prizes from some of the Sonoma Wine Country’s best venues. All proceeds from the event will benefit Children’s Medical Aid Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing corrective surgery for Nepalese children with birth defects, and building medical clinics to serve impoverished families in rural areas of Nepal.
