Winter Tea Tasting & Bazaar Highlights

On a Saturday in December, we hosted our third successful Tea Tasting & Bazaar, comprised of immigrant & refugee vendors, artists, chefs, & performers.

To prepare for the event, in partnership with Spokane Independent Metro Business Alliance & funded in part by Bank of America, we hosted multiple Small Business Workshops for small business owners & entrepreneurs to learn the ins & outs of operating & launching a business - including how to obtain a business license.

With over 400 people in attendance, we are SO grateful for...

💛The (20) Vendors + (7) Activity Facilitators + (5) Chefs + (3) Performance Groups = 100% led by Immigrant & Refugee communities (representing 16 countries & 15+ languages) 🫶🏽

💛 Feast World Kitchen for catering beverages & treats 👏🏼

💛The 24 volunteers that donated over 78 hours 💫

💛 Those that made this event possible: This program was supported in part by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission & the National Endowment for the Arts. We would also like to thank our Community Partner Sponsors: Refugee Bath Co., Global Neighborhood Thrift Store, and Page 42 Bookstore for providing the amazing gifts in your goodie bags! 🎉

A fabulous time was had by all. We can't wait to see you at our 2025 SPRING Tea Tasting & Bazaar!
