Harambee Festival and Parade<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bring the family and join the fun for the 19th Annual Harambee Festival at Weisser Park (Hanna and Drexel Streets) Saturday, August 4th. The festival starts with a parade from Pontiac Street to Hanna Street at 10 am. The theme of the parade is “Building on a Legacy” and Chief Condra Ridley is serving as the Grand Marshal.<\/p>\n

After the parade, from noon – 7 pm, the FREE festivities will continue in Weisser Park. Family-friendly activities include a basketball tournament, storytelling, music, poetry and dramatic skits. Children can also have their faces painted and try to win a prize in the ring toss, duck pond, candy wheel or fish pond. Vendors will be on site selling food.<\/p>\n

The word “harambee” means pulling together and the festival is held every year to inform, educate and entertain the community. <\/p>\n

The Harambee Festival is sponsored by the Harambee Festival Committee and the Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
