Africa Night 2016

Saint Mary’s African Student’s Society

A

frica Night 2016 roared into life on March 26, 2016, at the Cunard Centre in Halifax. Africa Night is about celebrating Africa and its myriad of cultures through dance, music, and enjoying the best of African cuisine. This year’s Africa Night was the most elegant and it drew not only people of African descent but also the cosmopolitan population of Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, and all of Nova Scotia. Over the years Africa Night has received massive support from the generous people and businesses in Halifax and this support continues grow. The theme for this year was “UBUNTU: ABANTU, I AM BECAUSE WE ARE” presenting all five regions of rich African culture, embracing their African identities and heritage. This celebration of Africa is to educate the world about the diverse culture and to celebrate the end of African Heritage Month.
