Celebrate Black History Month with Kuumba, two weekends of black history, arts and cultural events, hosted by the Harbourfront Centre!

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in dance classes, plenty of music (including a gospel fest), film screenings, comedy nights, and much more! Throughout this weekend and the next, four historical exhibitions will be on display: On the Road North: Black Canada and the Journey to Freedom, Enslaved Africans in Upper Canada, Voices from Days of Slavery, and Motown Museum. Activities for the kids include storytelling and portrait creation. Musical features include Amadou Kienou, Natasha Waterman, and Pablo Terry.

Most programming is free, making this the perfect opportunity for you to discover Black History Month and the Harbourfront Centre! For more information, visit the Harbourfront Centre’s website.
