About

Karibu, which means "welcome" in Swahili, is CVOEO's annual community-centered cultural event celebrating the growing diversity of the Burlington area through fashion and performance.

All are invited to join this critical fundraising event that supports CVOEO’s Asylum Seekers Assistance Program, while also offering a moment of recognition and celebration of the culture and talent in Vermont’s New American Community!
