The event will begin at 12:30 pm with a great presentation on Arab food and cooking. 

At 2:00 pm a fun story time especially for families will feature the new book ‘Nearly Nonsense’ comprised of 10 traditional Hoja tales from Turkey. 

Rounding out the event will be a Perisan music and dance performance featuring such instruments as the Tar, the Suling and the Kecapi at 3:30 pm.
