About the Event:
This event is called Bacchanal de Afrique will be taking place on Sunday July 26th 2009 (more info below), and will include a fashion showcase of clothing from one3snapshot. We will have live performers to add a festive spirit to this daytime and outdoor event. This is the first of many that we plan on producing.
Background of the Event:
We are friends, artists and community members who are collaborating for two main purposes:
1. To provide fun and creative events that are relatively cheap or free for attendees so as to draw in diverse backgrounds of people in the community.
2. To highlight a group or organization that is doing cultural and/or political work in the Bay Area.
Additionally we would like to bring awareness about social and community issues, raise money on behalf of good causes and especially have a fun time!
