Haiti – Diaspora: 18th edition of the Haiti en Folie Festival
15/07/2024 10:24:20
The 18th edition of the Festival Haïti en Folie, the largest musical event outside of Haiti entirely dedicated to Haitian and Caribbean culture, is back in Montreal from July 24 to 28, 2024 with a richer program than ever.
Haïti en Folie offers 5 days of activities with purely Haitian foundations where performances by many artists will follow one another, including the legendary root and voodoo music groups RAM and Boukman Eksperyans, talented Quebec artists such as Shreez, Shah Frank, William Osias, Wesli, Täbï Yösha as well as the VIBE Benders group with DJs KidCrayola and IVY.
“When everything falls, culture remains”said Dany Laferrière. It is in this context that we will celebrate in great style the Haitian culture which is more alive than ever, despite the chaos raging in the country. What could be better than having Boukman Eksperyans and RAM to commemorate in style the 220 years of Haiti’s independence this summer at the 18th Festival Haïti en Folie in Montreal!
• Find the famous 5 à 7 Haiti in Fie with DP Piyou, DJ Kayssy, DJ Sweet La Rock and Baz Konpa at Jardins Gamelin;
• Three online panels with Haitian personalities, discussing important topics related to Haiti;
• The traditional RARA parade, vibrant and colorful;
• A weekend of FREE workshops and events for young and old at Lafontaine Park;
• The famous culinary show presented by the SAQ.
“It is under the sign of voodoo, discovery and sharing that I invite the population to immerse themselves in the unique and flourishing culture of Haiti in complete solidarity with the Haitian community,” said Fabienne Colas, President and Founder of the Haiti en Folie Festival.
