TLTV Ep 62 - Echoes Of Africa Festival (Newmarket)

The Echoes Of Africa festival was recently held at Fairy Lake Park in Newmarket Ontario on Saturday August 29th. The festival was organized by the Canadian and African Business Women's Alliance (www.caabwa.com), an organization which brings training to low income and immigrant women in the region. The festival's objective was to promote cultural literacy by exposing attendees to the art, drama, music, dance and culture of Africa. As well, it was a great opportunity for those involved to showcase their products & services to the crowds in attendance. On a beautiful summer day the festival drew many many people who bought original African products & crafts, watched amazing performances, and met a lot of truly wonderful people. Take a look...
