The Funda Fest
Southside Cultural Center
393 Broad Street
Funda is a Zulu word, spoken by the people in South Africa. Long before there were books, the elders and griots and jaliyas-the storytellers- were the keepers of the culture. They passed on stories and songs so the community would learn its history, values, and traditions, in the oral tradition. That's what we offer here: a place to learn. Not only that, it looks like FUN!
Schedule of Events:
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm: Opening Party
Join RIBS and our supporters to a ritual around the fire to kindle our Funda Fest experience. Following a gathering of stories, drums, music and acknowledgements, join us for a party, with food and music, to celebrate our 27th annual Funda Fest.
Location: Southside Cultural Center, 393 Broad St, Providence, RI 02907
