Join Canopy NWA for a free community celebration in honor of World Refugee Day!

This family-friendly event is open to all and will feature a vibrant mix of cultural experiences, food, music, and activities that highlight the strength and diversity of our refugee and immigrant communities in Northwest Arkansas.

Guests can enjoy free face painting and hands-on activities for children and families, along with live music and cultural performances throughout the event. A variety of international foods will be available to sample and purchase, offering a chance to experience flavors from around the world. Henna art will also be available for purchase, along with other interactive cultural experiences.

Throughout the event, guests will also have the opportunity to learn more about Canopy’s work supporting refugee families as they build new lives in Northwest Arkansas.

World Refugee Day is a time to recognize the resilience of refugees and to come together as a community in welcome and celebration. Whether you come to learn, connect, or simply enjoy the festivities, all are welcome!
