Renaissance Park Cultural Festival


 Leon Kelley shows his grandfather’s butchering tools at the Renaissance Park Living Heritage Festival (2000). The festival was a joint project between Danny Silvester, founder, and Martha Ellen Davis, ethnomusicologist, which showcased and celebrated African-American folklife in Marianna, Florida. Though the Florida Folklife Program was still housed within the Division of Historical Resources, the festival was funded through a Division of Cultural Affairs grant.
