I am proud to be Gambian and I especially love my village Barra situated by the sea in the district of Lower Niumi. I am excited to show off The Gambia that does not make it into the tourist guides, the sort of holiday that cannot easily be packaged.
We still celebrate traditions that go back centuries and are so happy to share our cultures with everyone. We are a peaceful country and we have a lot to offer that is yet to be discovered by the majority of holiday makers.
The festival is a perfect chance for our tribes to come together and witness what each other have to say and do. We are especially proud that this local festival also offers us the chance to showcase all of our traditions to any who wish to see them, and it is a true opportunity for visitors to join in and be part of the celebrations.
Please come and join us for the real Gambian experience.
