Arab Festival is a biennial project of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice that invites the Olympia community to join in celebration of Arabic culture and to experience the food, traditions, lifestyles, and peoples of the Arab World in a peaceful, joyous and authentic manner. We strive for lasting appreciation and respect for our own and other cultures, and for the ability to understand and accept our differences so that we may acknowledge our similarities and enrich each other's lives.
