This community story gathering is to share stories of ancestors and to plant the seeds of imagining for the 2026 Day of the Ancestors: Festival of the Masks. We ask participants to share their stories and to dream how you would like to participate in the upcoming Festival of Masks. Please come and enjoy snacks, songs, poetry and sharing your stories. This year's Festival of Masks theme is inspired by the Adinkra Symbol Nea Onnim. A symbol of knowledge, life-long education and continued quest for knowledge.
