Ndaje Festival Party
Saturday, After the Concert
The Ndaje Party brings together the traditions of West Africa and America in a post-concert celebration that you will not want to miss! Like a traditional African Doundounba or Sabar party, there will be live drumming, dancing and appearances by all of the Festival artists! There will even be a few surprise performances! Also, in true American fashion, a live DJ will provide a mixture of reggae, hip-hop, and afro-pop music to have everyone dancing to the beat!
Cover: $10 with concert ticket, $15 without.
