Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival
2 0 1 2
is ON THE WAY!
Join us this Summer at our NEW LOCATION in the Seaford Sports Complex, for two GREAT DAYS of Multi-Cultural Celebration. With lots of fun activities for the whole family - and fabulous food and music - this year's event will literally be BIGGER and BETTER than ever before. Located next to the Seaford Library and Cultural Center, the Seaford Jay's Nest, and just a short hop from the Seaford Historical Society's Ross Mansion, the Eastern Shore AFRAM Festival is where Community, Culture and History truly come together.
The festival opens Friday Night, AUGUST 10th at 5:00 PM, with the traditional Little Miss and Little Mr. AFRAM Pageant, featuring music by talented locals. Test your wits in this year's edition of the hilarious AFRAM Family Feud gameshow. Stroll among AFRAM's unique vendors for some of the best cultural foods, and exotic imports such as mudcloth, essential oils, and beauty products, such as authentic African shea butter, and African black soap. Shop for ethnic wear, jewelry, accessories, and fine arts/crafts (and books) from across the Pan-African diaspora.
As evening cools, the music heats up with FORCE-ONE's DJ Blade and his Old School Dance Party, and ZION REGGAE BAND. Chill with friends to LIVE MUSIC both Friday and Saturday, (JAZZ, GOSPEL, BLUES, SOUL, and more) but remember to bring your lawn chairs for the best seats under the sun - and stars. (TENT SEATING ALSO AVAILABLE)
Saturday morning - 10 AM - join the AFRAM PARADE as African Drummers and Dancers lead Buffalo Soldiers, Marching Bands, Clowns, Dignitaries, Unique Cars & Motorcycles, Historic Societies and Community Organizations, through the City of Seaford, past the Judging Booth to the festival grounds for the continued day-long celebration. RANDOM PARADE-WATCHERS will be CHOSEN for FREE PRIZES!!! |
