It’s safe to say that international travel these days is overpriced and a pain in the butt.  However, what if you could experience the unique attributes of a foreign culture without airport security, Dramamine,  or that annoying, crying kid kicking the back of your seat.  Well, you can!

Landmark Center is ready to kick off its sixth season of the Urban Expedition series “Urban Expedition: Korea” on Sunday, February 7 from 1-3pm.  This opportunity for the entire family costs less than one checked piece of luggage on a flight–it’s FREE!

Families can celebrate the Korean culture with traditional music, dance, food, arts and crafts without experiencing jet lag! Come and enjoy traditional Korean drumming performed by Shinparam, dance by the Mu Gung Hwa Dance Academy and a Taekwondo demonstration by Kukkiwon TKD Academy.

Kids and adults alike get a passport and enjoy authentic cultural experiences from around the world. The Urban Expedition program draws on the Twin Cities’ rich multi-cultural array of performers, artists, chefs, and other community members sharing their heritage with both their own community and Twin Cities’ community at large. Urban Expedition is made possible with support from Travelers Foundation.

In addition, Landmark Center has partnered with community organization, Hallie Q. Brown Food Shelf, who will be hosting food drives at each of the Urban Expedition programs in order to benefit those members of our community in need.  You are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items.

Urban Expedition: Korea! is a part of the Sundays at Landmark event series sponsored by Minnesota Landmarks, the nonprofit programming and management agency for Landmark Center. Sundays at Landmark is sponsored by Travelers Foundation.  Landmark Center, owned and sponsored by Ramsey County, is located in downtown St. Paul at 75 West 5th Street, facing Rice Park, next to the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts and The Saint Paul Hotel.  Landmark Center is accessible to those with impaired mobility.  Parking is available on street and in nearby Macy’s, Lawson, Science Museum and RiverCentre Ramps.
