๐Ÿ“ฒ This is not just an event โ€“ it's a celebration! So make sure to join us for one of the largest African cultural celebration in Boston.

Finding Us: Meh this can be tricky but I managed to find people at the Japanese event, so it's possible, don't lose hope. We will be meeting in Boston Common: The festival takes place throughout Boston Common, easily accessible via the Park St. Red Line station. I'll likely be starting out from Park St. Station, I'll post a more specific location update once I'm there,, but I'm thinking near the main stage, but feel free to use the comment section to find me and others once you're there!

"Save a spot" It is not necessary, since this event is FREE, but I feel it helps them get a idea if people find value and are planning on going.
