#TCWRD19 is a festival in July dedicated to celebrating the rich diversity of cultures, stories, and assets refugees bring to Minnesota. Because of the work you do, we wanted to reach out to find out if you or your organization wanted to take advantage of being part of the day and supporting the local community.
The purpose of the festival is to provide a platform for refugee stories and artistic practices, and to honor their lives and raise awareness of the millions of refugees in the world who have been forced to flee their homes. It takes place on July 14th, 2019 from 2pm-7pm in Loring Park. It is free to the public, and features 10+ cultural performances, a resource fair, activities for families, and opportunities to better learn about and connect with the community, and more.
