This Friday!! REPOST SWEET ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT🚨 — the first ever Strawberry x Dusk Throwdown🍓🌞
At Dusk, we will be presenting to you a latte art competition as one of the many interactive experiences you can take part of at the market. This latte art competition will feature over 16 baristas from all over PHX’s finest coffee shops. The most intentional aspect about this event? It’ll be on the bus with women and non-binary folx only as our featured competitors.
As part of our rebrand for the bus, the team at Hakiri Coffee, soon to be Strawberry Coffee, has found a special partnership with Dusk Market this past year. With one of our goals for this first ever throwdown to uplift those in our community who matter deeply, it became very clear that would be the most fitting home for our event.
So, this is your invitation to come watch, support, and cheer on coffee creatives within PHX at the Market this year! It doesn’t matter if you are barista or spectator, we hope to share with everyone how a cup of coffee can also be a work of art. See you @ the bus 🚌 💭🔖
A special thank you to all our sponsors so far— .coffee 🌪

Understanding the real story of Thanksgiving can cause mixed emotions, but we hope that through the acknowledgement of our past we can create a better future. A future rooted in healing, revitalization, and unity. We wish you a wonderful day with your loved ones! Stay Safe!

🟤 Thanksgiving commemorates the centuries of oppression and genocide that has been inflicted on Indigenous people for hundreds of years.
🟤 “Thanksgiving” occurs in 1637, after the colonists brutally massacre an entire Pequot village

We are heartbroken and offer our prayers to the victims, their loved ones, and all those suffering from the terrible act of hate that occurred this weekend at Club Q in Colorado.
We stand with our Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ relatives. We must fight for a future where our 2SLGBTQ+ kin are safe, embraced, and honored in all spaces. Now, more than ever, we must remind our relatives - you are loved.
