The Global Experience Festival (2018)

June 16, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

The Global Experience is a festival that uses international wine/food tasting, visual/performing arts and interactive discussions & activities to bridge a gap that divides us. This fundraiser is a collaborative effort between Nosey Palate™, The Education Culture Opportunity (ECO) Foundation™ and Verbal Connections™. A portion of the proceeds will benefit youth programming, here in Philadelphia and to young women in Kenya.

HOW IT WORKS
Upon arrival, participants will be given a Global Experience Passport. This souvenir serves as the “travel itinerary” for festival-goers. Guests will receive stamps for participation in wine/food tastings, interactive arts, games and more. Participants who fill their passports with stamps will receive a gift upon completion.

WHY THIS FESTIVAL EXIST?
There’s a universal language that connects us all. The organizers of this event believe exposure to international arts and culture is the passport to understanding each other. Together we can build a stronger community, one stamp at a time.

Ticket Price: $30

***Some Bartram’s Garden neighbors are eligible for special discounted $5 tickets. To find out if you qualify, please email us at or call 215-729-5281 x112.***
