Living Traditions visitors can watch the preparation of traditional recipes and enjoy everything from the familiar to the exotic, knowing that in the process they are supporting the community groups that nurture their cultural traditions throughout the year. All vendors are local nonprofit organizations and all proceeds go directly to support their ongoing local arts programs.
