The Caribbean Cultural and Carnival Organization is a local organization that promotes and interprets the culture of numerous Caribbean countries to the Metropolitan Detroit community through educational means and cultural activities.
On Saturday morning of the Concert of Colors festival weekend they will present a parade and lawn party on the DIA’s North Lawn with dancing, live music, and colorful costumes. Caribbean Festivals began in the latter part of the 18th century, and were extravagant celebrations of freedom, masquerades, and music that fused African and European cultures. Enjoy the Caribbean in Detroit! It’s a family affair.
Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual global music festival, an upbeat event celebrating diverse World music traditions-including the indigenous music of the Motor City. The festival also hosts the Forum on Community, Culture and Race, a series of conversations with artists, cultural, and community leaders examining the role of the arts in overcoming social barriers.
