Stunning parade of flags kicks off Afro Caribbean Fest in Red Deer
It was a sight to behold in downtown Red Deer on Saturday, Aug. 12 as the flags of African and Caribbean nations were held high in a beautiful parade of colour.
All of it was to celebrate the first Afro Caribbean Fest, which is taking place Aug. 12 (12-8) and Aug. 13 (12-6) on Ross Street downtown.
Zainab Mohamoud, founder of the African Caribbean Centre of Central Alberta, spoke to rdnewsNOW shortly after festivities got underway.
