Anticipation for the annual Harambee Festival is palpable as the community gears up to celebrate a rich tapestry of African and African-American cultures. Set against the scenic backdrop of Cascades Park, the festival is not just an event but a profound expression of culture. The term “Harambee,” which signifies “all pull together” in Swahili, encapsulates the essence of this gathering. Drawing from the Kenyan tradition of communal effort and support, the festival mirrors this spirit of collaboration and collective celebration.
