People from refugee backgrounds make a huge contribution to life in Scotland. We believe that's worth celebrating!

Our unique festival brings people together to meet, mix and get to know each other better.

This year the theme of the festival is hope, with more than 130 events across Scotland showcasing inspiring stories and sharing hopes and dreams for a better future. There’s something for everyone, from film screenings, fashion shows, community picnics, dance workshops and musical performances to cooking classes, football tournaments and much more. Most events are free and family friendly.

Join us from 16th - 25th June to celebrate the stories of people and communities who have settled in Scotland.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
