What: Celebrate Sudan, a cultural extravaganza, replete with food, musical performances, costumes, and a raffle — with a grand prize trip to Sudan!
When: Sunday, September 19 from 11am – 5pm
Where: Live Oak Park, Berkeley
Why: Like many African countries, for long, Sudan has been portrayed in the media for its poverty, disease, political turbulence and war. And while all these do sadly exist, there is indeed much more that isn’t portrayed. Americans traditionally haven’t been exposed to the beauty that Africa’s largest country has to offer- its rich culture, hundreds of spoken dialects, religious and ethnic diversity, flavors of food, colorful traditional costumes and dress, and beats and rhythms born and bred in Sudan.
