Join us for the **Refugee Recipe Celebration** in honor of World Refugee Day, where we celebrate the vibrant connections among plants, food, and culture within Atlanta’s diverse refugee communities. Experience live **Outdoor Kitchen Cooking Demonstrations** featuring chefs from Friends of Refugees who will prepare international recipes, drawing on influences from Karen, Burmese, Iraqi, Middle Eastern, and Congolese cuisines. Sample delicious bites while learning the stories behind each dish from talented chefs like Sela Paw, Ja Jyu Lon Ko, the Alrubaii family, and Ritha Mwida.
In addition to the culinary delights, enjoy **live music and dance performances** from various cultural groups, including West African dances and local school orchestras. Explore **discovery stations** throughout the garden to engage with Friends of Refugees staff and learn about their initiatives supporting immigrant communities, including hands-on discussions about the plants used in international cuisines.
Don’t miss the **Frog Feeding** sessions at the Fuqua Conservatory, where you can witness fascinating frog feeding behaviors alongside an amphibian specialist. This celebration highlights the richness of cultural exchange through food, art, and community, creating a welcoming space for all. Learn more and plan to join us at atlantabg.org/refugee!
