DELRAY BEACH + It started as a one-day festival 24 years ago, grew to 30 days of summertime activities and now has become a year-round celebration of African-American and Caribbean culture.
For the first time, the Roots Cultural Festival has expanded its programming to offer arts education in the winter, spring and fall. But starting today, summer activities will begin as usual. Organizers are hoping about 50,000 will attend the various events between now and August.
"Together we are building and maintaining our community," said Programming Director Elizabeth Wesley. "Together you accomplish so much, and it's up to us to keep that community going."
