Established in 1986, this celebration honors the traditions, contributions, and community of the African diaspora, whose ancestors were dispersed from the continent in ages past. The expansive festival takes place over the course of three consecutive weekends and revels in music, dance, storytelling, and literature. Arts and crafts are highlighted, and a children's area provides plenty of opportunity for young ones to be enlightened. International foods and health screenings are also part of the happenings, which showcase cultures from Europe to South America and the US. |
