Join us at The Met for a free International Women’s Day celebration — and everyone’s invited. This is a day for gathering, pulling up a chair, sharing food, trying something new and celebrating together.
Led by an inspiring lineup of women — from our workshop hosts to our performers — the day is packed with creativity, culture and community spirit. Get hands-on with matcha making or pastel Ngomi art, soak up live female-led music, and enjoy an array of food from Moliuliu’s Store, including Korean rice rolls and sugar-coated strawberries.
Free and open to all — come and be part of a collective celebration of creativity, culture and community.
