Haiti to host the 12th edition of CARIFESTA – Caribbean Festival of Arts, Aug 21-30
(PRNewswire) – CARIFESTA, which is the largest cultural and artistic event in the Caribbean, has fused all forms of expression of Latin America and the Caribbean since 1972.
As a result, it has become a major multicultural and international event that increasingly attracts countries from other continents.
The Caribbean is a meeting place for people around the world, a witness of the crossroad of nations, of different migrations by will or force, of life invented a thousand times, shaped through the fusion of different cultures.
CARIFESTA celebrates diversity and similarity; talent and brotherhood. It gives artists the opportunity to discuss, share experiences, learn from one another and share their knowledge and traditions.
All men and women are alike in their beauty. Armed with this strong belief, Haiti opens its doors to welcome the Caribbean and the world from August 21st to August 30th, 2015.
CARIFESTA XII activities will be held in 5 cities across the island-nation: Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Cap-Haitian, Gonaives, and Cayes.
All disciplines will be featured: dance, cuisine, fashion, cinema, visual arts, literature, music, theater, arts and crafts.
CARICOM (Caribbean Community) – the 14 member countries, including Haiti – has taken all the necessary steps to ensure that this 12th edition in Haiti continues to fulfill the legacy of CARIFESTA being a Great Cultural and Artistic event since 1972.
CARIFESTA in Haiti is an incredible opportunity for our artists and creators. CARIFESTA will have a positive impact on various sectors of national life. We can rely on CARIFESTA to enhance our image, especially in the Caribbean.
The Great Market is a giant space for exhibitions from a variety of artistic categories as well as a center of activities for the youth, which will take place in Champs de Mars for 10 days throughout the event will be among the flagship activities of CARIFESTA’s.
