RICHMOND, Va. -- Save the date for Saturday, August 20th That’s when Elegba Folklore Society presents the 31st Down Home Family Reunion. It’s a celebration of African American folklife.
It’s free for families to come out and enjoy. There will be music, food, shopping, community engagement, children’s activities and more.
“It is a family reunion. People meet up that they haven’t seen in a long time, make new friends. People can just come, be at ease, be at peace and enjoy,” said President & Artistic Director Janine Bell. “We need that. It’s like therapy, particularly in this day and time.”
The event takes place 4 to 11 p.m. at Abner Clay Park, located at 200 W. Clay Street in Richmond.
