ABOUT US

Welcome to

iCU Community

We're all about putting together exciting events that highlight cultures you might not know much about yet, helping everyone understand and appreciate them better.

Let's be real, life in the suburbs can feel a bit plain sometimes. That's where iCU Community steps in, ready to spice things up with fun and cultural stuff! Just think of it like a mix of yummy food, fun activities, and a celebration of all the different cultures that make our neighborhoods special.

By teaming up with local businesses, groups, the government, and of course, YOU, we create family-friendly events that you'll want to keep coming back to every year.
