Flipping the Boat-Making Workshop

Please join the Manilatown Heritage Foundation at our International Hotel Manilatown Center for a special hands-on workshop where we will be creating miniature boats holding our wishes and dreams for ourselves, our families and our communities. Through personal storytelling we will also explore our own connection to the maritime world and learn about the resilience and culture of Manilatown's maritime connection. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with our heritage and celebrate the spirit of our ancestors. We especially encourage families to come build boats and share stories together!
