World Refugee Day is held every year on June 20. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) commemorates the strength, courage, and perseverance of millions of refugees. This year, World Refugee Day also marks a key moment for the public to show support for families forced to flee.

The event will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2017 at The Westin Boston Waterfront. The Gala will highlight Boston’s diversity and the many contributions and achievements of the most committed individuals that represent our immigrant and refugee community.

This year, we transport you to the Caribbean. This region makes up 15% of Boston's immigrants in the City of Boston. Its immigrants, with their skills, cultures and languages, helped shape our City. At this year’s Gala, we will pay tribute to the Caribbean community. Guests will experience Caribbean cuisine, music, and dance.

The event is hosted by:

• Mayor Martin J. Walsh
• The Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement
• Co-Chairs Mohamad Ali of Carbonite, Inc., Roger W. Crandall of MassMutual, and Davide Grasso of Converse

When kids sneak into inventor Wayne Szalinski's (Rick Moranis) upstairs lab to retrieve an errant baseball, his experimental shrink ray miniaturizes them.

The four children, now 1/4-inch tall, must survive the journey back to the house through a yard where sprinklers bring treacherous storms and garden-variety ants stampede like elephants.
