24th Annual Down Home Family Reunion August 15, 2014 (Opening Night)

Elegba Folklore Society Presents the 24th Annual Down Home Family Reunion, A Celebration of African American Folklife

This year’s theme is “Soul Connections”

Down Home Family Reunion, A Celebration of African American Folklife, is a weekend festival of world music and dance, a Heritage Market, children’s events — often powered by the children, themselves — interactive site demonstrations & down home healthy food. This is one of the Society’s original programs created in 1990 to connect aspects of West African cultural traditions with African Americans & to show their influence on the American South. Bringing the world home, audiences are exposed to the artistic expressions — performing and material – of African world cultures in a lively, colorful and informing celebration of heritage and light.
