Support CIRA at Welcome Fest!

Sunday, September 27, 2026 from 4-7 PM
CIRA Omaha Office • 4223 Center Street

CIRA is proud to host Welcome Fest as part of national Welcoming Week 2026, which brings together neighbors of all backgrounds to celebrate and affirm the importance of welcoming everyone in our communities. This is a free admission event; food and goods available for purchase.

CIRA will welcome more than 700 community members to our Omaha office in September for the second annual Welcome Fest, a festival celebrating connection and shared belonging.

Guests will enjoy storytelling by immigrant voices, live dance and music, and a global bazaar featuring handmade goods and international cuisine.

Welcome Fest reflects a shared vision that communities grow stronger when neighbors know one another and feel connected to the place they live.

Each year, CIRA supports thousands of immigrants and refugees across Nebraska and Southwest Iowa in building stable, connected lives, who contribute skills, entrepreneurship, and leadership to local communities. In this moment, when many families are navigating uncertainty, creating spaces of welcome, visibility, and community is a meaningful part of our mission.

As a Welcome Fest sponsor, your business demonstrates a commitment to welcoming communities where families feel supported and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We invite you to review the sponsorship opportunities and join us in making Welcome Fest possible.
