Our America Now: A Celebration of World Refugee Day

Love Park | 15th Street & JFK Boulevard
A festival experience that spotlights the contributions of the refugees and the families that
help them. Travel with us through a day of live music, dance, dance lessons, storytelling,
videos, and interactive art installations. Learn about the special ways that Philadelphia
welcomes refugees into the country and helps them make the difficult transition to their new
home while providing opportunities for them to build a life through the culture, stories, art,
and music.
This event is in partnership with Welcome.US, which is a national initiative built to inspire,
mobilize, and empower Americans from all corners of the country to welcome and support
people seeking refuge in the United States and help them thrive.
