The festival celebrates the maroon who escaped slavery and built their own communities while preserving African heritage and culture. As the festival is of three days, a day will extend the experiences where African origins will be conveyed through various activities that include drumming, singing, smoked food and other rituals.
Also, the festival includes dancing in the streets and the magic of taste through the smoked food which would consist of rolled rice, and the meat prepared in the large pots. The beating of big drums also spread the joyful times that would even make the ones present there dance.
Such times in the country set the mark of entertainment that even would make the participants dance to the rhythms and deep sounds.
