Anancy Festival is a celebration of Caribbean cultural heritage designed to appeal to children and families curious about the Caribbean. Anancy (also known as Anansi or Ananse) is the West African trickster hero of folk tales familiar to millions of people around the world.
Words and stories are an important part of Caribbean culture. Caribbean people’s love of words evolves into the beautiful storytelling that gathers a family together, the man-to-man “reasoning” conversation about issues in the community, and even the “labrish” that humors a set of friends. So, a folk hero like Anancy is an appropriate icon for the festival that makes the Caribbean accessible to South Florida families.
