The Common Read Kick-Off: Calhoun Community College
Sun 24th @ 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Free
This August, they’re setting the table for something truly special. The Orion Amphitheater is proud to partner with Calhoun Community College to kick off this year’s Common Read program—an annual community reading initiative built on the belief that shared stories can lead to shared understanding. They’re launching the journey with a joyful jamboree in honor of this year’s selected title: Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees by Aimee Nezhukumatathil. This lyrical collection of food-centered essays invites everyone to reflect on the tastes, traditions, and memories that shape who they are. To kick off the season of reading and reflection, they’re throwing a food-forward, fun-filled celebration with something for everyone to enjoy! Join from 4-7PM for:
Live music by The Silver Silos
Intro to Food Writing Workshop
Mocktail-Making Sessions
Apron Decorating Station
Global Flavors from Local Food Trucks
“Ask A Gardener” Booth
Kids Zone with sidewalk chalk, mural coloring, scavenger hunts & more
HMCPL Bookmobile + info booths from local colleges
This free event is the launch point for Calhoun’s Common Read series, which will culminate this fall with a campus visit from Aimee Nezhukumatathil herself.
Let’s read together, grow together, and celebrate—Bite by Bite!
Cost: FREE
When: August 24| 4PM-7PM
