National Welcoming Week is celebrated across the United States

in over 220 communities to promote awareness,learning, tolerance and unity.

 

It inspires us to build  a different kind of community where everyone belongs.

 

This year 15+ organizations and businesses have joined in to bring you

10 full days of events across Fargo, Moorhead, & West Fargo! 

 

Come learn and embrace about our cultures new and existing.

Annual Multi-Ethnic Summer Picnic

"Summer picnic" is an annual picnic for all New Americans ( refugees from Somalia, Bhutan, Kurdistan, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, Haiti etc) with individuals and families from all different cultural and socio-ecomomic backgrounds to socialize, connect and learn from one another thus fostering trust and building better relationships among new immigrant arrivals in the communities. Hornbacher's Foods is a major sponsor of this annual summer picnic feeding 80-100 families.

Community Table

For the third year in a row, Growing Together is hosting a Community Table in order to kick off Welcoming Week. Unlike the previous two events at Rabanus Park, however, Growing Together is partnering with the monthly International Potluck efforts and the Plains Art Museum to host an evening event, inside! Please bring a dish important to your family or culture; include a story with the dish. There are cultural performances as well as activities for adults and children.
