A Global Night Out: Street Foods from Around the World

Join us for an evening of global flavor, cultural connection, and community impact.

Hosted at the beautiful Celeste Farms, A Global Night Out is not your average fundraiser—it’s a curated culinary experience inspired by the vibrant street food scenes of cities across the globe. From Accra to Bangkok, we’re bringing bold bites, stories, and rhythms to your plate.

Enjoy live music by Kevin and Bancaribe, bringing their signature fusion of Latin, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean sounds to set the tone for a festive and soulful evening.

This intimate dinner supports the work of Culture Encounters, Richmond’s only immigrant-led nonprofit, bridging communities through food, story, and shared experience.

Proceeds from this event will help us bring to life The Bridge at Culture Encounters—a dedicated gathering space for immigrant and local communities to connect through dance, storytelling, language, cooking, and cultural exchange.

Your ticket directly fuels this vision and sustains our ongoing youth programs, cultural tours, and community dialogue dinners across RVA.
