Odunde African American Festival This Weekend in Philadelphia
The 31st annual Odunde (pronounced oh-dune-day) Festival takes place this weekend in Philadelphia. Odunde is a celebration of traditional African-American culture, and this year the festival expands from a one day to become a three-day series of events.
The festival, whose concept originates from the Yorba people of Nigeria, West Africa, celebrates the coming of another year for African Americans and Africanized people around the world.
