Ashaki Celebration on February 27, 2009


The Chicago Park District South Region invites you to the 17th Annual ASHAKI Celebration, an authentic cultural experience culminating Black History Month.  Highlighting five countries of the African Diaspora, this memorable event will take place at Washington Park, 5531 South King Drive, on February 27, 2009 from 6-9PM.  

Right before your eyes, the Washington Park field house will be transformed into the countries of Ghana, Ethiopia, Senegal, Nigeria, and Somalia.  New to our activities this year will be an Egyptian display.  Eye-catching live musical performances, amazing African artifacts and displays, and great culinary delights will immerse your imagination into the vivid cultures of theses countries and illustrate the important roles each country has played in the lives of African Americans - past and present.

Don't miss this wonderful family event for all ages. The fee for this celebratory occasion is $2.00 per person.
