About the event

This October, Kutubna Community Day returns — a full-day celebration of stories, creativity, and collective giving. After the success of our first edition, we are ready to write the next chapter, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This edition is also a fundraiser for Kutubna: visitors will be invited to Pay What You Can to attend, and every contribution goes directly toward sustaining Kutubna’s cultural and educational programming.

How you can contribute

We’re inviting storytellers, educators, performers, small businesses, and creatives of all kinds to contribute through:

  • Storytime and readings for children in multiple languages
  • Creative workshops for all ages
  • Live talks and performances
  • Pop-ups and product sampling
  • Cozy café & donation station for books, toys, and art materials

There are no participation fees for contributors — just the shared spirit of co-creating a day where creativity meets community impact.
