Anansi
The Anansy Festival

The Anancy Festival was created by Xavier Murphy, the founder of Jamaicans.com, educator Cathy Kleinhans, and Dr. Andrea Shaw-Nevins, the Dean of Farquhar Honors College at Nova Southeastern University, to connect children of Caribbean descent with the traditions of their ancestors through stories, song, dance, arts and crafts, book and poetry readings, and other art forms. The first Anancy Festival was held in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on June 30, 2007. Children’s author Kellie Magnus joined the founders in 2011 to coordinate the Anancy Festival in Kingston, Jamaica. Since 2007, the Anancy Festival has been staged in Pembroke Pines, Florida; Orlando, Florida; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Plantation, Florida; Jamaica, Queens, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Washington, DC; Kingston, Jamaica; Nairobi, Kenya; and Accra, Ghana.
