World Refugee Day 2023
Honor and celebrate refugees around the globe at this free event for all ages! Featuring vendors, performances, music, art, activities, resources, and more! This year’s event will be held on Civic Plaza on Saturday, June 24th at 4pm.
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations. It celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home countries to escape conflict or persecution. On this day we hope to build empathy and understanding for their hardship, and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives and the many gifts they bring to their new homes.
