Amano DubeThe annual Cedar Riverside Multicultural Dinner will take place September 22, from 4 - 7 pm at the Brian Coyle Center. We talked to Amano Dube, Senior Director of Community Development Cedar Riverside, for Pillsbury United Communities, about this year’s event. He told us, “This event has been taking place for over two decades and it has grown over the years in its size and diversity – we welcome everyone to come out on September 22 to meet your Cedar Riverside neighbors.”
Amano pointed out these highlights:
- There is no fee to attend the dinner - delicious cuisine from 10-12 restaurants in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood will be featured.
- We’ll be entertained by four different performance groups including Team of Artists from the Cedar Cultural Center, The Somali Museum Dance Troupe; Oromia Youth Association Cultural Dance Group and Native American drummers.
- I stated earlier but want to emphasize that we don’t charge for the event – the food and performances are offered free of charge. The event is supported by organizations and individuals who believe in its purpose which is to bring the diverse multicultural communities in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood and the surrounding communities together to celebrate the beauty of diversity through conversing and networking with each other, learning more about our diverse cultures, sharing West Bank cuisine and enjoying the wonderful performances. Please come to 420 15th Avenue South and enjoy!
