SEPTEMBER 13-22, 2024

Each year during Welcoming Week, organizations and communities bring together neighbors of all backgrounds to build strong connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and inclusive places in achieving collective prosperity.

This year, Welcoming Week is a call to come together as individuals and groups – to celebrate our strengths and differences – and recognize that we’re at our best when We’re All In.

Welcoming Week is on a journey to build a world that’s all in on valuing diverse perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and cultures. Through your local events and special initiatives, share how your community is modeling this “We’re All In” approach, too.

With the support of community partners, Welcoming Week is a collaborative effort to show how our community is enriched with beautiful cultures through art, film, food, education, music, and more! 

How can your business/organization show that “We’re All In” this Welcoming Week and every day? We encourage you to get creative with how you frame your Welcoming Week events this year.

In many ways, we intend for “We’re All In” to be the first half of a longer message that supports your community’s interests. When you’re planning your Welcoming 

Week event, you might consider grounding them in messages like:

• We’re All In for DEMOCRACY
• We’re All In for VOTING RIGHTS
• We’re All In for THE NEXT GENERATION
• We’re All In for SHARING OUR CULTURES
• We’re All In for HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
• We’re All In for a HAPPY & HEALTHY PLANET

We can't wait to see all the ways our community shows that WE'RE ALL IN!

Sincerely,

Concord Multicultural Festival Committee
