Event Details

Here in CT, we have many different Black communities that celebrate their culture- and they all do it differently! Learn about black communities from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Georgia and more, that all bring their traditions to our state. Then, make your own costumes, recipes, and music that represent you and your community.

These program is made possible by a partnership with the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Pickup during open hours at the Teen Desk: Mon-Tues: 2-5pm, Wed-Thurs: 2-7pm, Fri-Sat: 2-5pm.
