World Refugee Day: A Global and Local Event.

From June 18 to June 20, the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) will acknowledge and celebrate World Refugee Day. There will be celebrations all over the world, from refugee camps in Africa, the Middle East and South America to Geneva, Switzerland (home of the UNHCR) to national capitals in countries that host refugee resettlements like Washington, D.C.; Ottawa, Canada; and Canberra, Australia.

Fargo’s refugees and friends will celebrate World Refugee Day on Thursday, June 18 with an outdoor celebration on the grounds of Lutheran Social Services at 1325 11th St. S. from 1-5 p.m., and in the Atomic Coffee Community Room on Broadway from 7-8:30 p.m. with both events free and open to the public.
