“Who remembers during the 70s in the summer when the cultural community gathered every Sunday at Belmont Plateau? We traveled there with our young children, blankets, drums, chess, checkers, crochet needles, yarns and cards. Just chilled and enjoying nature, the culture and each other.
The Ngoma event, captures that spirit. It is held in a park, surrounded by our culture and people. Children rolling around and running in the grass and playing in the playground.
We don't have too many opportunities for this kind of chill vibes in a park.
The organizers make sure everything and everyone are family appropriate.
We have no vulgar music and disrespectful behavior. Nothing that dishonors our Ancestors and each other.
So join us, bring others who will enjoy the communal unity and spirit. Bring chairs, blankets and instruments.
There will be lots of Cultural Entertainment, community building information and a African market place.
Plenty of free parking.
Enjoy Black joy.”
