Under the scorching sun, the African Cultural and Development Association (ACDA)-hosted Emancipation Celebrations yesterday returned to the National Park in a sea of vivid colours with thousands thronging the venue throughout the day.
There was a two-year hiatus in the celebration due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the National Park, the atmosphere could be described as one charged with African spirituality, dances, parades, drumming, steel pan music, fashion shows, paintings, crafts – activities designed for the entertainment of both children and adults. ACDA’s central plank within their Emancipation celebrations, which is the twinning of an African state with a village bought by freed slaves, once again featured prominently.
