Kandelia Grants

Kandelia

Kandelia's Culture Fair is an event to celebrate youth, families, diversity, and community across Seattle. Culture Fair will occur on June 3rd, 2023 from 9:30am - 1:30pm at Seattle World School (SWS). We are using SWS because it is an existing place of significance for our community and is central in the city for convenience. Culture Fair will celebrate newly arrived immigrant and refugee families. It will be a community event featuring food, music, dance, fashion, arts & crafts, sports, and people from diverse cultures. Attendees will be able to sample foods from different countries, participate in a friendly soccer game, and learn about different cultures. The event will also feature youth performances that include cultural dances, music performances, and fashion shows. Kandelia will invite immigrants and refugee families throughout Seattle. We will share the invite with our network of community partners, volunteers and the Central District neighborhood that surrounds SWS.
