5th Annual Haitian Independence Day Celebration

ONE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH PERSON. Haitian Independence Day is celebrated each year on January 1. It is an important holiday as it recognizes Haiti’s independence from the French colonial empire. Upon reaching its liberation from the French on January 1, 1804, Haiti became the first independent republic made from the self-determination of black individuals and the very first country in the Western Hemisphere to abolish slavery. Soup Joumou is a traditional dish eaten on Haitian Independence Day. Please join us as the community celebrates with food, music, and fellowship to honor Haiti's rich history and culture.
