What’s in store for you FOR FREE at the 2nd Afro Caribbean Festival YYC?

Close your eyes for a second…

Hear the delicate, exciting sound of the Ethiopian Krar - the mystical call of a rare African magical instrument.

Then — BOOM — the African drums take over and your heart starts beating with them.

Then performances vibing Reggae, Rap, Afrobeats & RnB and the whole of Lot 6 is dancing.

You laugh with Reggae Tone in a fun interactive session, then join hundreds for an awesomely awesome Zumba workout that feels like a party.

All of this. In downtown Calgary. For FREE.

Saturday Sept 5 & Sunday Sept 6 | 10AM-8PM
