The Somali Student Association (SSA) celebrates its 27th year on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus with its highly anticipated, widely recognized Somali Night, which is the closing show of the annual weeklong initiative, Somali Culture Week. This celebration is dedicated to educating the University of Minnesota campus and the Twin Cities community about the rich Somali culture and heritage in Minnesota.

Somali Night aims to highlight the artistic talents within the Somali community by bringing singers, dancers, poets, actors, and fashion designers from the Somali diaspora together to showcase the diverse talents within the community.

This year's event will feature performances from Nuur Carale and Sharma-Boy, with additional performances including the SSA's Somali Dance Team, and more!
