Ethnic Traditions
Join us for another Ethnic Traditions program, presented by the Historical and Genealogical Society of Somerset County and the Somerset Historical Center.
Each year, the Somerset Historical Center brings together local families from diverse cultural backgrounds for a tasting and discussion of their food, music, and traditions. This year the dinner features dishes from Indian, Swedish, and Chilean cuisine.
The dinner is Sunday, December 4 at 5:30pm at the Friedens Lutheran Church in Friedens, PA.
Ticket pricing:
Individual Ticket: $25.00
Table for 6: $135.00 (additional seats up to 8 total: $25.00 a piece)
This is a wonderful opportunity to share in food and fellowship with others who are interested in trying something new and learning about cultures other than our own. The gathering is friendly and casual, and questions are encouraged.
