The North Star Guide

Drink Spiking is real - KNOW ABOUT IT.

The worst hangovers aren't always hangovers.

This Happens Everywhere — Know the Signs

1+ in 10 (*very conservatively*) have their drinks spiked: The symptoms are often confused with "having too much to drink," a bad hangover, the flu, etc. & the people who do it know exactly what they are doing - YOU should too. LEARN THE SIGNS & share with friends. You might save their life.

Join us for a joyful event filled with music, dance, storytelling, inspiring speakers, art, activities for all ages, food for thought and action, and opportunities to connect with neighbors from around the world! ★ Live music & dance ★ Youth performances ★ Peace Circles ★ Great cultural foods ★ Interactive art ★ Community booths ★ Arts & crafts ★ Without You — In Memoriam Stars 4 Peace and THE WALL join Tacoma Sister Cities on Peace Day with the Children's Parade and Roots & Shoots' Giant Peace Doves — the day our Season of HOPE begins, leading to the Holiday HOPE Hop and the Tacoma Santa Parade in December.
