About this event
Join Us for the Festival of Bones African Ancestral Masquerade Ball!
Celebrate our African ancestral roots and soul clans at this vibrant and meaningful event. The **Egungun/Egbe Masquerade Ball** honors the traditional African rites of ancestral remembrance, where we come together to celebrate our ancestors through food, drumming, dance, chants, and ceremonial practices.
Event Highlights
Ancestral Connection Experience the profound significance of wearing masks, which represent the veil between the living and the ancestral world.

They communicate through the veil, guiding and supporting us.
