So what's this all about?

Monmouth Celebration of Cultures is a local non-profit organization that works with community members in the Monmouth, Oregon area to celebrate our culture, our heritage, and the things that make us unique. We host celebration events and do what we can to involve our community as a whole. We believe - deeply - that our diversity is our strength. Through celebration we get to know each other, and by bringing our community closer together we create a happier and safer community for everyone.

We encourage you to reach out by emailing us (link below) if this is the kind of work you would like to take part in. Our events grow each year, and it takes love, passion, and hard work to make them happen.
