Professional bard Temujin Ekunfeo will fill the room with his voice as he shares folktales and fables rooted in the age-old oral tradition of Africa.  The celebration continues with the steel drum music of local group Pan in Harmony whose repertoire includes calypso, jazz, and even pop standards!

And there’s more: We’ll fill our bellies with summer-sizzled barbeque and yummy sides courtesy of Gianna Via's!

Plus, prizes and raffles!
