• African Drumming: Engage in a vibrant drumming session with an African drummer who brings 60 drums for audience participation.
• Indigenous Storytelling: Experience captivating stories from an Indigenous storyteller.
• Face Painting: Two talented face painters will be available to transform faces into magical designs
