Utah to Celebrate World Refugee Day
Event to Highlight Contributions of Refugees
Nearly 70,000 refugees call Utah home, with many arriving recently from Ukraine and Afghanistan.
On Friday, June 17, and Saturday, June 18, the 18th Annual World Refugee Day will be held at the Big Field Park in Salt Lake City. The event will celebrate the contributions of refugees to Utah and raise awareness of the challenges they face.
The event will feature food, music, dance, and other cultural performances from around the world. There will also be information booths from organizations that provide services to refugees.
World Refugee Day is a global event that celebrates the strength and resilience of refugees. It is also a day to raise awareness of the challenges that refugees face and to call for their protection.
In Utah, refugees have made significant contributions to the state's economy, culture, and community. They have started businesses, created jobs, and raised families. They have also shared their culture and traditions with Utahns, enriching the state's diversity.
The World Refugee Day event is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of refugees and to learn more about the challenges they face. It is also a chance to show our support for refugees and to welcome them into our community.
