Planners seek participants who represent refugees, immigrants, ethnic or national groups, international students and their supporters. Participation can be a display, crafts or food, games, or entertainment on the stage at Lookout Point. In 2024 some 30 different groups participated and hundreds attended. To reserve your place at Lookout Point, contact Lena Contor at 208-237-2290.

Attendance will be free to include food, food service, decorations, and performers like dancers and musicians. Based on 2024 expenses of about $3,000, planners ask for in-kind and money donations from our community. For example, a budget target is $100 for food ingredients for each of 20 countries or ethnic groups. Tax-free donations can be made through BRIDGES Idaho refugee support https://www.bridgesidaho.org/.
