The 16th annual Kuumba festival presented by TD returns to the Harbourfront Centre with an entertaining and educational weekend celebrating Black History Month.
“Kuumba” is the Swahili word for creativity and has become synonymous with showcasing the best local and international artists from the African and Caribbean diaspora thanks to Toronto’s longest-running and largest Black History Month (BHM).
The festival will include a celebration of Jamaica’s 50th anniversary of independence with legendary reggae dub DJ and producer Clive Chin as well as a Honey Jam Then & Now showcase, a hilarious Canada vs. USA Comedy Clash, a film series celebrating Black filmmakers, an intimate and interactive indie music showcase with Rochelle Jordan, 88 Days of Fortune and Shi Wisdom, a fashion workshop with Canadian supermodel Stacey McKenzie and a variety of family activities, including a Soca on Ice event with Dr. Jay de Soca Prince.
