Tucson World RefugeFEST
Tucson and the world come together at the 4th Annual Tucson World RefugeeFEST 2012, a free all-day family event in celebration of World Refugee Day. The event will be held at Maracana Sports Center, 555 E 18th St., 9am-9pm, beginning with National Bank of AZ All-Arizona Refugee Soccer Tournament with refugee teams from all of Arizona competing for top honors.
Cultural events begin at 2pm with Learning A-Z Kids Corner activities, Global Village food & culture exhibits, vendors and musical performances featuring the Arizona Symphonic Winds conducted by Hungarian immigrant Laslo Veres. At 3pm a special citizenship ceremony will be held by USCIS, the United States Citizen & Immigration Services. At 5pm an open ‘Tucson’s Got Talent Show’ will showcase refugee musicians, dancers, performers and poets.
The 6pm – 9pm evening program will feature the NBAZ Soccer Tournament award ceremony, main stage performances including drumming & dancing from Burundi to Bhutan & Brazil, arts & crafts displays from refugees around the world, as well as educational booths, ethnic food, and interactive multi-lingual children’s activities. Attendees can try to take the US Citizenship quiz and learn to speak one of 50 different languages in the Global Village. These activities provide our community an opportunity to have fun and share their cultural heritage while engaging Tucsonans in both local and global humanitarian issues.
The event is free. A suggested donation of $1 or any amount will be gratefully accepted. Food, crafts and cultural goods will be offered for sale supporting many refugee micro-businesses and non-profits such as Somali Bantu Association of Tucson, Bhutanese Mutual Assistance Association, Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting, Sewing & Crafts, Laos Students Association, and Tucson International Alliance of Refugee Communities (TIARC).
This year organizers hope to create even greater excitement around soccer. Maracana Indoor Sports Arena is owned and operated by Mladan Kovach, a Bosnian refugee. Teams representing Bosnia, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Burundi and Bhutan are expected to be highly competitive. National Bank of Arizona is underwriting the Soccer tournament and other local businesses will support the event including CBRE, La Frontera Arizona and Diamond Eye Care. Learning A-Z, a Tucson based global educational resource company is providing support for Kids Corner. Tucson World RefugeeFEST 2012 is a volunteer driven project that seeks to build capacity among Tucson based MAAs – Mutual Assistance Associations. The Somali Bantu Association of Tucson Arizona (SBATA) has stepped forward to be this year’s festival fiscal sponsor. Co-Chair of RefugeeFEST, Megan Fabry, Volunteer coordinator at SBATA, has brought dynamic energy to the organizing committee.
“The Tucson World RefugeeFEST is all about connection–between the community, the refugees, and the diverse set of cultures we have here in Tucson. Since soccer is a language we all speak, why not play? Since food, music & dance is something we all love, why not eat, play & move? Being able to find our common ground together, and celebrate it is what RefugeeFEST is all about,” says Megan.
