Broward Mall in Plantation will honor Caribbean heritage and the diaspora with Colors of Caribe, a free family-friendly festival celebrating Caribbean culture, dancing, food, and music, on June 25 from 12 to 5 p.m.
Colors of Caribe will kick off at the Island Space Caribbean Museum, located at the mall’s east entrance, with the Anancy Festival, named for Anansy the Spider, the West African folklore trickster and a popular character throughout Caribbean culture. Children will enjoy a talent show, participate in West Indian games, interact with various cultural characters, and play beloved island games like jacks and marbles. Adults are welcome to try their hands at traditional Caribbean pastimes like Ludo, dominoes, and cards on the museum’s patio.
