Come and join us for our annual Tibetan Festival.
There will be Tibetan food, music and dance, a Tibetan market
along with guided meditation and games for the children.


 
     
 


Bring your family and friends to this special celebration of Tibetan culture. Activities include meditation, Tibetan food, music, dance, games, a Tibetan Bazaar, children’s arts and crafts, door prizes, a raffle and live performances by Drepung Vajra Band, Atlanta Tibetan Music Group and the monks of the Mystical Arts of Tibet.

 

 

Since His Holiness the Dalai Lama blessed our center in 2007, Drepung Loseling has been working towards completing its vision of creating a “Little Tibet” in Atlanta. Last year’s Tibetan Festival was voted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution as “The Top Thing to do”. Hundreds of visitors have enjoyed the last three festivals and we promise this year’s program will be just as fun.

Parking and Directions
 
     
 

Thanks to the graciousness of the Plaza Fiesta Shopping Center, we will be able to park in their lot between 9am and 5pm on Oct 22, 2011. The parking area allocated to us is on the Dresden Drive side of the Shopping Center and a shuttle bus will run round trips all day.

Please note: this parking is only available to us during the Tibetan Festival. We strongly request that you use this lot for Festival as there will NOT be parking available at the center, and we don’t want to upset our neighbors with too many cars parked on the side streets around the center.

Plaza Fiesta is located at 4166 Buford Hwy, Atlanta, GA which is about a 5 minute walk away from Drepung Loseling. A 15 seat shuttle bus will do round trips from the Center but you may choose to walk. PLEASE only use the area allocated to DLM for parking. If you or someone in your party is not able to get onto the bus, you may either drop them off at the center and then park.

Please google or mapquest directions if you need something more extensive than the directions below.

(at Brookhaven MARTA station):
