We are excited to welcome everyone to the 7th annual festival. This years festivities, will bring together artists, musicians, dancers and organizations from the "Ten Most Enslaved Peoples of Africa". The aim is to share their true stories of the slave trade from their perspective through music, dance, arts, stories and food. Their stories will change minds and inspire a true coming together.

Grown-ups can take advantage of the beer garden, art displays and more!
