“We know that we have a lot of different ethnic groups and then we want to teach the younger kids at school about all the ethnic food and cultural dances.

We want all the schools, primary schools and high schools to come out and see for themselves first hand, even the making of the cassava bread.”

The feast also includes arts and crafts. The Culture Village will be open from six in the morning until six in the evening at the Bliss Institute on Wednesday and Thursday.
