Neighbors and partners gather at John James Audubon Center for annual celebration.

As birds embarked on their fall migration journeys, Audubon and partners welcomed approximately 250 visitors to Community Day at the John James Audubon Center (JJAC) in late September. The event brought together local artists, performers, food vendors and community organizations for a day of dance, learning, and cultural exchange.

This years' celebration expanded on last year's theme, and included greater participation from the local Indian community, with a Kuchipudi dance performance by Sri Sai Nataraja Academy and an educational table hosted by the Hindu American Foundation.

Visitors also enjoyed Mexican folk dancing by Ballet Folklorico Yaretzi, a local DJ, henna tattoos, bird-themed art activities, and international food from vendors including Mucho Peru, Taco Loco, Apka Bazar and Bruster's Ice Cream.…
