Join us for the 175th Liberian Independence & Bicentennial Celebration, one of the largest, family-centric African and New American Celebrations in Ohio!
Liberians In Columbus Inc. (LICI) celebrates the 175th Independence of the Republic of Liberia. This year is unique as we commemorate 200 Years of the land of return, freedom, and pan-African leadership. For the last thirty-six years, Liberians in Columbus have taken pride in bringing Liberian culture and arts to Columbus, Ohio. It is our 4th year as producer of the Culture Fusion Festival. Additionally, our annual gala will showcase Liberia’s history, arts, and culture to our friends.
We look forward to working with your organization to present quality West African entertainment, dance, music, food, culture, art, and activities for the entire community to enjoy.
More than 7,000 people are expected to attend the Cultural Fusion Festival, State House Proclamation & Flag Raising, and the Gala and Fundraising Dinner to be immersed in the diverse Liberian/Pan African and West African cultures. By becoming a sponsor of our Independence and Bicentennial Celebration, your organization will make lasting connections with our audience, gain media exposure, promote your organization’s community involvement, provide resources, share employment opportunities, and more.
Participation in our Independence and Bicentennial Celebration is also an excellent opportunity to learn about what became of the children of the formerly enslaved African Americans who departed the shores of Virginia 200 years ago in search of their motherland. And to support the growing diversity of our community in which we all live, work and play.
