11th Annual Peace Feast

Saturday, June 1, 2024, Noon to 2 pm at the Square Dance Pavilion, Pioneer Park

Celebrating Peacemakers in Our Community!

Free barbeque! Please bring a dish to share, but come anyway if you don’t have time to prepare something.

The Peace Feast is an opportunity to relax with friends in the summer sun and share ideas and interests. We encourage those with a passion for peace to get involved at the personal level to make a difference in our own community. We’ll be featuring short presentations from some of the many organizations working toward peace, justice, and sustainability in our community. The Square Dance Pavilion (aka picnic shelter) is between the Dance Hall and the the Pioneer Air Museum. Vehicles aren’t allowed in the Park after noon, so we will need to walk in from one of the entrances.

Dick Farris initiated the original Peace Feast in 2013, and it has become a tradition since then (we missed it in 2020 because of Covid). We provide the barbeque part. Bring a dish to share if you can, but there is always plenty of food so come anyway even if you don’t have time to bring anything.

The Alaska Peace Center works for peace, justice and sustainability – individually, in our community and globally – with a commitment to nonviolent conflict resolution. For more information, contact info@alaskapeace.org.
