Kunte Kinte Children’s Festival

Saturday September 27th :  10:00am-4:00pm
Travel in your imagination to the childhood home of Kunta Kinte to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of west Africa. CCM will host a festival just for children - and their accompanying grown-ups - to mark the anniversary of Kunta Kinte’s arrival in the year 1767 in Annapolis. Special guest Kwame Ansah-Brew will highlight the live entertainment with “A Journey to Africa” through storytelling and music. Join in making rhythms with drums and shakers. Step to the pulse of the music. You will be able to meet some animals from Africa, make a spirit mask, bottle cap rattle, Adinkra symbol headwrap and other traditional crafts. Free with museum admission. Extra charge for some activities.
