THE ORLANDO PRESENTATION WILL INCORPORATE A LIVE SIMULCAST SO COME READY TO REPRESENT WELL.

 

The Orlando production is one of four being held in four different cites on June 9th. Held in Jamaica, South Florida, Washington and Orlando.

The Anancy Festival is a celebration of Caribbean cultural heritage and designed with particular appeal to children and teenagers curious about the Caribbean. Anancy (or Anansi) is the West African trickster hero of numerous folk tales that are popular across the Caribbean. This clever and conniving character is familiar to millions of people around the world and an appropriate icon for the festival’s blend of Caribbean culture on a platform geared for children and adolescents.

Everyone is invited to come on out and enjoy a promotional display of abundant Anancy Fables/Storybooks along with a variety of Jamaican and Caribbean cultural books offered by DARE BOOKS located in Longwood.
 
The Anancy Festival will be a celebration of Jamaican and Caribbean Cultural Heritage with 'Anancy' story readings, cultural performances by Jennifer Copeland (Orlando's Miss. Lou), hilarious original Jamaican poetry renditions by Marsha Wilson (Osceola County Public School Teacher), Caribbean cultural books on display, poster competition, cultural items on exhibit and much more incorporated into the event.
 
 
Experience the celebration of Jamaica's 50th Independence and Caribbean American Heritage Month as a strong focus at this event which is geared toward children, teenagers and adults alike.
