The theme for ACDA’s Emancipation Festival 2022 was “Celebrating the enduring African spirit through cultural expression” and the sub-theme is “Realizing the Guyanese dream through community economic empowerment.”

After two years of virtual celebrations, people gathered outside around the country to honour our African ancestors with libation and to celebrate. But along with the greetings, vibrant colours and foods, the ongoing struggles of African Guyanese were not overlooked.
