“Sundaes Outside was just really created to celebrate Black folks and nature, and create an experience for folks that come out to the parks on Sundays… you can be outside in your backyard, in your neighborhood, you can be outside in a state park, you can do lunch or recreation, you can camp.”

– South Settle Emerald

“Spending time outside isn’t just about solitude and silence. At the Refuge Outdoor Festival, people of color and allies are invited to gather and build community.”

– Outside Voices Podcast

“Refuge Outdoor Festival was born out of the need for people of color to have a safe space to recreate outdoors, to rest, and to connect to each other and the land. It’s about healing, joy, and reclaiming our right to nature.”

– Crosscut
