SUMMARY:Celebrating Our Neighborhood: Cuisine of Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fourth-annual Celebrating Our Neighborhood event series in partnership with Louisville Free Public Libraries (LFPL)\, as we explore and showcase the arts and culture of Haiti! \nThis three-part series kicks off on Saturday\, July 18th\, from 1:00 – 2:30 PM with the Cuisine of Haiti at Northeast Regional Library. For this event\, Mackendy Alcinvil\, the chef of local Haitian restaurant\, Caribbean Cafe\, will present a cooking demonstration and share the cultural and historic significance of Haitian food traditions and dishes. \nPLEASE NOTE: Registration is required to guarantee seating availability for this event. We recommend registering as soon as possible\, as space is limited and fills up quickly! REGISTER HERE or call (502) 574-1623. \nAdditional events in the series include the History of Haiti (August 29th – Bon Air Library) and the Music & Arts of Haiti (September 12th – South Central Regional Library)\, and feature artists\, scholars and musicians from Kentucky’s Haitian communities. Check out the lineup and register at LFPL’s Celebrating Our Neighborhood event page. \nAbout the series: \nDebuting in 2023\, each annual Celebrating Our Neighborhood series highlights the arts and culture of one of the many vibrant immigrant and refugee communities of Louisville across three events (cuisine\, history and music/art)\, held at different library locations throughout the city. Previous years have showcased the arts and culture of Cuba (2023)\, Iraq (2024)\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (2025). \nThis unique series not only offers the opportunity to experience and learn about a diversity of global cultures\, it aims to elevate visibility of marginalized communities as well as build bridges between neighbors. By uplifting immigrant and refugee voices\, Celebrating Our Neighborhood also helps to demonstrate our shared humanity and connectedness with one another around the world. \nAll Celebrating Our Neighborhood events are free\, but registration is required to guarantee seating availability. Register with LFPL HERE.
