The launch of Marcus and the Amazons at the Anancy Festival was only one of the highlights that linked the sister cities of Kingston and Ft. Lauderdale. As you can see, we had a lot of fun with the youngsters and the young at heart.

Give thanks to Xavier Murphy, Andrea Shaw, Kellie Magnus, Nancy Ansley, Valrie Simpson, the performers and the sponsors for the vision and dedication to making this year's festival a reality
