Photos: ‘Africa Day’ At Presentation School

Posted by

TRALEE International Resource Centre celebrated African diversity this Saturday at Presentation Primary School with the yearly ‘Africa Day’ celebration.

The annual commemoration offers an opportunity for everyone in Ireland to celebrate the heritage and identity of the African continent and the African people living in our communities.(continued after video below)

The day was full of fun with local musicians ‘Different Skins’ providing music for the day. The crowds were also treated to an African Hip-Hop group performance all of which was washed down afterwards with African food and drink.

Gillian Wharton Slattery opened the event and Bishop of Kerry Ray Brown also came along to view the festivities.
