This three-day cultural festival brings together African and African-diaspora dance, drumming and community traditions. Expert instructors lead music and movement workshops drawing from West Africa, Cuba, Guinea, Senegal and other regions, with options welcoming both beginners and experienced participants.
Beyond the classes, families can explore an African-inspired craft market, traditional food vendors and a finale concert centered on live drumming and dance. The producer describes the gathering as open to all ages and backgrounds. Tickets are sold in several formats, including individual programs and a finale-concert ticket.
