Passing it on
Carnival survives when each generation teaches the next. Our programs keep the meaning of carnival alive, not just the party.
Emancipation Day March
Every August 1, we march to remember the day slavery ended across the British Empire in 1834, and the ancestors who turned freedom into a festival. All are welcome.
