The third edition of Slow Food Nations, Slow Food’s biggest event in the US, will take place in Denver, Colorado, from July 19 to 21. The event will transform downtown Denver’s Larimer Square into a 3-day free international food festival with cooking demonstrations, food tastings, family activities, block parties, and discussions centered around food that is good, clean and fair for all.

The theft of land; the exploitation of farmworkers, fishers, and other food and seafood chain workers; lack of access to land, oceans, freshwaters, and healthy foods; food apartheid; and diet-related health problems—just to name a few of the issues that we face today—are rooted in race, class, and gender disparities. As these injustices continue, the voices of people of color, poor or low-income people, and women are all to often excluded from the mainstream food movement. Slow Food wants to change that, and is committed to working across the sectors to build a food system that is clean, fair and good!
