This year's Cultural Outreach will present a diverse collection of cultural performances from all around the world, including India, South Africa, Japan, Canada, and Latin America.
TISA will proudly present our annual Cultural Outreach celebration on Saturday, March 20th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm at Showplace.
With the theme "Niyonkwarihoten - Our Cultural Ways," this year's show aims to share and explore the cultural and traditional ways of our world with the community.
