Hi Everyone
I am one of the co-organizers for an event called Anancy Festival for children teaching & celebrating Jamaican/Caribbean culture. It is in it's 4th year. There will be Caribbean/Jamaican performers, Folklore information, Anancy Filims, face painting, music, games and story-telling. The e...vent is in 4 locations on June 9th: Kingston, Orlando, Washington DC and Ft. Lauderdale. We will simulcast from all the locations. It is a FREE event (small donation in Orlando).
Please come out and support our effort teach the next generation about our Jamaican/Caribbean culture.
See the details below and PLEASE share with your friends in these cities - websites http://www.anancyfestival.com or http://www.facebook.com/anancyfestival
The Anancy Festival is a celebration of Caribbean cultural heritage and designed with particular appeal to children and teenagers curious about the Caribbean. Anancy (or Anansi) is the West African trickster hero of numerous folk tales that are popular across the Caribbean, indeed popular throughout the African Diaspora. This clever and conniving character is familiar to millions of people around the world and an appropriate icon for the festival’s blend of Caribbean culture on a platform geared for children and adolescents.
