A warm campfire, delicious west African food, and Tani Diakite.

Picnic Point, Fire Circle 6 (The large fire pit at the end to the walking trail)

Free admission; $10 suggested donation, but give whatever you can. All profits benefit Project 1808 and their work supporting education and community livelihood in Kabala, Koinadugu, Sierra Leone (West Africa).
About Tani Diakite:
“Tani is a musical force who has inspired an entire community of artists. With his Kamale n’goni, a West African ancestor to the banjo, and his plaintive singing, he never fails to drop the deepest blues around. www.tanidiakite.com“
