We are Cedar-Riverside

Pillsbury United Communities, in partnership with other neighborhood organizations and businesses, presents We Are Cedar Riverside. This summer-long event series uplifts the cultures of Cedar-Riverside to build bridges of understanding across our community. We welcome curious learners of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate the richness of our city’s most diverse neighborhood together. The series culminates with our annual Multicultural Dinner at Brian Coyle on September 21, a beloved West Bank tradition.

This year’s immersive workshops spotlight Oromo, Somali, Native American and Afghan culture, hosted by local artists, performers, elders, and youth from the community. Learn from these cultural ambassadors as they share their language, stories, food, customs, greeting styles and other expressions that promote culturally sensitive connections.

Join us for our annual celebration of the many cultures present in Cedar-Riverside through local food, dance performances, and relationship building.

Watch the video below to see what our community members have to say about the dinner.

PUC is now seeking sponsors for this summer-long event — an opportunity to help build a more thriving and connected community as you create visibility for your brand and business. Sponsors who donate funds, food or other in-kind donations will receive recognition throughout the series. To get involved, please contact AmanoD@pillsburyunited.org.
