World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honor refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.
This June 20, join the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families – Bureau of Refugee Programs and Lynden’s HOME program to celebrate World Refugee Day, and our refugee communities, through art, food, fashion, poetry, and performance, in Milwaukee’s beautiful City Hall. The theme for World Refugee Day 2025, selected by Lynden’s HOME Refugee Steering Committee, is Walking Together, Weaving the World. Food trucks in attendance include Isa's Ice Cream and Birrieria la tía Juana.
