An 18th century fall festival. More details soon!

Join Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle as they take you on a journey along the historic Erie Canal through music. They have developed this terrific program to provide the history of the grand old Erie through the music it inspired.

Learn some interesting facts about the canal, sing along to a few tunes you probably already know, and hear some that you may not.

To facilitate the cultural exchange between the East and the West, enhance the understanding of different ethnicities and religions, and develop more friendships among all people, the World Peace and Health Organization will host the first World Culture Harmony Festival in upstate New York on October 4, 2017.

The event’s purpose is to promote harmony, accelerate cultural progress, and develop consensus on human health, world peace, and religious harmony. The organizer is honored to invite the founder of the Holy Mountain Buddha Land, Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi, to deliver his speech and lead the Sangha to hold a blessing ritual for everyone.

We welcome all agents and representatives from different nations, communities, organizations, and social and religious groups to join the event. We invite you to share with us your values, express your ideas and views, and to experience together the inspiration, joy, and insight of the Festival.

Attendees of the Festival will depart from the Peace Hall at 1:00 p.m. on October 4, 2017.
