This Saturday, December 21 from noon to 4:00 PM, the Ernest A. Finney, Jr. Cultural Arts Center is hosting a FREE holiday celebration at 1510 Laurens Street for everyone with holiday treats, children’s books, and special guests.
“Be the Light: A Celebration of Community for the Holidays” will also feature a giveaway of 20 smoked turkeys from Railroad BBQ.
“On the 21st of December, we will celebrate the magical Winter Solstice and our beloved community with music, food, crafts, and free gifts,” said Nikky Finney, poet and director of the Ernest A. Finney, Jr. Cultural Arts Center.
Event host and emcee, MASTER SPLNTA (formerly FatRat Da Czar) said, “As I get older, I love to attend and participate in events curated for the entire family, grandparents down to the little ones. Not only am I honored to host the event, I’m even more proud to be working with an organization whose leadership’s values align so closely with mine.”
“Everyone is welcome to join this celebration!," said event coordinator Janet Parenti. “Located right at the edge of Historic Waverly, The Finney Center honors the rich legacy of one of Columbia’s oldest and proudest neighborhoods. Much like Hip-Hop Family Day, this event aims to connect an intergenerational audience celebrating the light of elders, parents, children, and community members through a fun shared experience.”
