TRALEE International Resource Centre (TIRC), Killarney Immigrant Support Centre (KASI) and the African community in Kerry (AFCOM) are celebrating Africa day this Sunday with a big day of celebration in Tralee Town Park.

The groups are organising an African party for the entire county which will bring together different African cultures and traditions and hopefully bring together international communities across Kerry.

The event will show-case traditional African food and African drumming and Tralee Town Park will host Africa-themed displays. Many of those from Africa, now living in Kerry, will showcase their traditional African dress.

The family fun event will also have a DJ, face-painting, bouncy castles and games, in what promises to be a truly multi-cultural event for all to enjoy.

Africa Day will be opened by Education Minister Norma Foley at 1.30pm, who is the guest of honour for the occasion.

A similar event was held last year and was a huge success with many people coming to try African food and learn about the different cultures.

Africa Day runs from 1.30pm-5pm  and everyone is urged to come along to this family fun event that will be both educational and entertaining.
