Arthur may be out looking for the next best roller coaster, and this blog has been discontinued. Thanks for visiting and happy travels!

Once known for its mills, Lowell has evolved into an incredible melting pot. The city hosts many festivals and events to celebrate its residents' diverse cultures. One of the more intriguing events is Destination World. The series, which kicked off last May, features a different "destination" on the first Thursday evening of each month and presents a variety of exhibits, films, workshops, dining experiences, and other opportunities to learn about the locale. On Thursday, January 4, the destination will be East Asia.

The National Park Visitor Center will host a film about East Asia, while the Revolving Museum will offer music, dance, and Asian food. Other venues throughout the city will also present exhibits about East Asian art and culture. All events will be free. With a validated stub, even parking at the Roy Garage next to the National Park Visitor Center, will be complimentary.

Destination World: East Asia
Thursday, January 4, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The program is headquartered at the National Park Visitor Center, 246 Market Street
