The festivities will begin at 3 pm, offering attendees a sensory experience with an array of cultural food and drinks, including fresh fish, fruits, vegetables and handcrafted items. The main event, the singing performances, will commence at 6 pm, promising an evening of joyous melodies and captivating rhythms.
An open mic opportunity will be available for anyone in attendance who wishes to share their talents.
