MOJA Arts Festival Charleston

Overview

A new tradition will highlight the cultural legacies of Barbados, Gullah Geechee, Jamaica, and Sierra Leone, while the finale at Hampton Park will celebrate the 50‑year anniversaries of several iconic 1976 albums with a free, family‑friendly concert produced by Ray Chew and local organizer Tommy Brown. Organizers invited community members to apply for planning‑committee and host‑organization roles, and they plan to reveal additional events weekly throughout September.
