Fi Wi Sinting is where Jamaicans from all walks of life meet , greet and mingle with visitors/tourists in a family setting while indulging in Fi Wi Sinting the Jamaican phrase meaning” It is ours”.
In celebration of Jamaica's 50th year of independence there will be loads more in store for all the family. This year celebrate Black History Month with us and experience the living history of our ancestors.
Dine on traditional food such as dukonoo brought from Ghana, sweet potato puddings, fried fish and bammy or vegetarian from raw to ital.
The spoken word is expressed through ourstories of that cunning spider Ananse also from West Africa as told by story teller extraordinaire Amina Blackwood Meeks along with resident poets Royal African Soldiers and their friends and in an open mike segment where participants are free to express themselves. Each year there is a main attraction and we close by paying homage to our dear beloved ancestors.
