Weh gaan ahn?

That’s Belizean Kriol for “What’s up?”(at least according to Google), and my attempt to remind you that our friends The Garifuna Collective are back with us this week! It’s looking like it’ll be a beautiful evening(or not. Who knows? We’re in New England), so bring a picnic chair, a blanket, or a cold drink, and join us for a great evening of amazing music and dance.

Stay creative.
