Once again organizations in Prince George’s County and the metropolitan area will be joining together to celebrate the cultural contributions of African Americas during the period between the 1920s and 1940s, known as the Harlem Renaissance Era. This year the collaborative members have chosen the theme “Our History and Experiences”.
In its 13th year, the Harlem Renaissance Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 5, 2012 on the beautiful grounds of the Kentland/Columbia Park Community Center in Landover, located at the intersection of Landover Rd (202) and Pinebrook Avenue. The entire Washington/Baltimore region is invited to celebrate the rich and diverse culture which African Americans have contributed to American life. This festival is a day full of music, dance, food, literature, poetry, art and many other activities for the entire family. This year, our theme is “Our History and Experiences…What Have We Learned?”
