What is the Peace Café?

 The Peace Café is an extension of the Peace Museum. Often, you will find that the Museum will host performances of live music that enhance the message of Peace. The Peace Café is traditionally located at the Peace Museum. But more so, and in time, it is our hope that the Peace Café will evolve into a dynamic venue that travels to the people, hosted by your local coffeehouses, performance venues, etc. In other words, you won’t always have to come to the Museum; the Museum will come to you.

What can you expect of the Peace Cafe?

 We promise quality performances of Folk Music, Poetry, Writings, Art and Dance. In the tradition of Coffeehouse music, the Peace Café will often present performances by Local and International Folk Musicians. Additionally we will many times offer, for your pleasure, alternative performances. The idea is to be a dynamic venue with something for everyone.
