The Wattanak Benefit Party took place on Saturday, February 19, 2011 at the U Garden Restaurant in Minneapolis. A buffet dinner was available from 7pm to 9pm; from 9pm to 12am was a live band and dance. During dinner the Wattanak Troupe, the dance group, performed three traditional Cambodian dances. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, and a few hundred people were in attendance, most of whom were Cambodian. Proceeds from the night went to the "continuing commitment to preserve Khmer traditional dance heritage".
