Hey Melbourne, come to Walima, our Refugee Week Celebration with Palestinian culinary queen, Aheda’s Kitchen. On Saturday 20th June, Chef Aheda Amro will be cooking a 3-course feast over two sittings, vegetarians are catered for as well.  There will be delicious drinks available thanks to the Fenton team. Our dinners are communal style, across long tables, to encourage new connections and strengthen familiar ones.

DJ MZRIZK will be providing amazing tunes on the night too.  Please book your tickets now. You can also treat a Palestinian community member to dinner by buying a Pay It Forward ticket. Guests can also opt to donate to PARA Foundation, a charity that supports newly-arrived Gazan community members in Australia.
