Huntsville, and the surrounding community, are now given the opportunity to learn much more about our Caribbean community through culture, history and art at one of the most widely known Spring events in North Alabama - PANOPLY FESTIVAL OF ARTS. www.panoply.org
The Caribbean was selected among several other countries to showcase culture, history and art originating from the region. This is an opportunity to tell the world more about who we are as a people.
The Caribbean Association of North Alabama (CANA) will be participating in the Global Village where over 3000 families will participate and learn more about the Caribbean countries, history, arts and culture on the weekend of April 23 - 25, 2010.
