Cultural Center Celebrates Jamaican Independence Day
Fifty-three years ago at midnight on August 5, 1962, the Union Jack was lowered and the flag of Jamaica was unfurled for the first time. The birth of an independent Jamaica was, perhaps, the most significant event in the nation's history. Today, Jamaicans celebrate the day to commemorate that historic movement, and to reflect on the struggle undertaken to gain autonomy. It is a day of national pride and commemorates the country's achievements. There will be plenty of music, food, and fun.
Event Date: August 06 11am-2pm Location: Cultural Center (Middle Powell) Cost: Free
