Aurora will champion its global influences with the launch of Global Flavors: a recognition of its hundreds of specialty restaurants, markets and food trucks. The food competition is now in its second year. The city's signature event
Global Fest
has moved to earlier in the summer - it takes place this year on Saturday June 14, 2025 from 11AM to 6PM on the Aurora Municipal Center's Great Lawn, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.
Food providers in Aurora are invited to nominate a globally inspired dish, drink or dessert by March 30th and beginning in May the public will be invited to visit and taste the nominated items, then cast their votes.
"As an extension of Global Fest, Global Flavors is a creative initiative that seeks to actively support and involve the local business community in this global celebration, showcase the diversity of food across Aurora, and unite people through food," said Ricardo Gambetta, manager of the Office of International and Immigrant Affairs.
To participate in the competition, businesses must be based in Aurora and licensed to sell food, plus be in good standing with regulatory agencies.

KAWS Pesents ‘Therapy' Solo Exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler
Summary KAWShas unveiledTHERAPY, a solo exhibition atGalerie Max Hetzler, marking his first collaboration with the Berlin-based gallery. Known for blending popular culture with fine art, KAWS brings his bold gestures, playful compositions and emotionally charged characters to the forefront. The exhibition features a series of paintings and a monumental sculpture, exploring themes of human vulnerability and connection through his iconic hybrid cartoon figures. In his new series of paintings, KAWS continues his exploration of seriality, featuring variations of'CHUM', a character he developed in the late '90s. Set against paint-stippled backgrounds, the works juxtapose sharp outlines with spontaneous textures, reminiscent of spray-painted street art. Shadows give the figures a sculptural depth, blurring the line between graphic illustration and fine art. Several compositions depict 'CHUM' holding up a canvas, creating an image-within-an-image, while others place the character in existential moments. The exhibition's focal sculpture, 'SPACE (2023)', presents an iteration of KAWS''COMPANION', a character first introduced as a vinyl toy in 1999. Standing at street level in the Bleibtreustraße 15/16 gallery, the stainless steel figure reimagines 'COMPANION' as a melancholic space explorer, dressed in an astronaut suit with an oxygen tank. Instead of holding a flag, it covers its eyes with gloved hands, reflecting themes of resignation and existential contemplation. KAWS' signature XX motifs, typically used for his characters' eyes, now adorn the gloves, adding to the sculpture's introspective tone. KAWS'THERAPYexhibition will remain at Galerie Max Hetzler until August 9, 2025. Galerie Max HetzlerBleibtreustraße 45,10623 Berlin, Germany
