Event to celebrate Refugee Day

World Relief Spokane is inviting neighbors and businesses around South Perry to a celebration of World Refugee Day on Saturday in Grant Park.

Events begin at noon with a potluck of traditional food from Bhutan, Burma, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea and many other countries. At 2 p.m. there will be a program featuring traditional dance and song performed by refugees who have settled in Spokane.

According to World Relief Spokane, many refugees live in the South Perry District, where they shop, go to school and have become an integral part of the neighborhood. This is an open invitation to come and meet the families that have found a new home in Spokane.

The event is free and there is no need to register. World Relief Spokane can be reached at (509) 484-9829.
