This was the best experience, I didn’t know I was gonna enjoy it as much as I did! Our tour guide Hollis is a true King of the community and shared the deep cultural background with us and immersed us in the parade making it a true cultural experience! And the vendors he introduced us to were also a treat from the healing fruit drinks to the yummy soul food at the Assassin restaurant. I’m so glad I had the experience!!!!
