Join us for the New Suns Fall Festival in North Thetford! New Suns Community Center is the first land donation received by the Every Town Project, through the Northeast Farmers of Color (NEFOC) Land Trust. The Every Town Project is an initiative focused on securing permanent land access and stewardship for People of Color in every town in Vermont. New Suns is evidence of what is possible when reparations are centered. New Suns, formerly a church, has been converted to a community gathering space with a Liberation Library, tool library, and food shelf centering the Releaf Collective, NEFOC network members, and other Black, Indigenous, and community members of Color. Please RSVP to secure your ticket that covers your entrance and snacks from NOFA-VT’s wood-fired pizza oven. Bring a picnic or purchase delicious food from other local vendors! After dinner, enjoy a tour through the center to learn more about its programs and happenings. There will be a lively trade and barter night market, and a dance party centering BIPOC rhythms and grooves until late. All are welcome!
*We aim to keep our event prices low, but if registration is a barrier, please reach out about scholarships. NOFA-VT offers the option of free registration to anyone who identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC) in an effort to actively work toward dismantling systems of racism that have historically disadvantaged BIPOC and continue to do so today.
