Most people rarely have an opportunity to experience Tibet’s unique yet endangered culture. The Tibetan diaspora in North America is very small in number compared with the other immigrants, and it is always challenging to preserve and propagate the culture among the younger generation. The Tibet Fest provides a platform that showcases Tibetan culture, art, music and history. The festival also highlights the plight of the Tibetan people, and the struggle of preserving our identity as Tibetans in a foreign land. The goal of the festival is for the community to embrace our Tibetan identity with pride, and introduce ourselves to the public as being part of the greater diverse population in the city of New York and the country.
