Staying local this March Break but still want to do some traveling? Travel the world this month at the Museum of Lennox and Addington.
Titled March Around the World, events held all month long will introduce visitors to the people, places, and cultures from around the world that have made their home in Canada.
The fun begins this weekend with an already sold-out Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop.
myFM spoke with Alannah MacGregor, Programs & Exhibitions Co-ordinator, who told us about their first March Break activity happening March 11th.
March 13th will be an Irish day, where two local Irish groups will be coming in to do storytelling, songs, dance and music. March 15th Israeli Dance will be hosting different workshops for different ages. March 17th will feature African Voyage, which will see a musician from Cameroon, to talk about how music overlays how community works and how percussion is very important in their culture.
MacGregor also told us about Saturday, March 18th activity.
Event details such as pre-registration requirements and price vary for each event.
There will be one final lecture series during the month on March 21st, where they will talk about how many of us have ancestral roots as refugees from around the globe and how human movement has impacted all of us.
To go along with all of these programs, they’re offering a fun passport program. MacGregor told us more.
