PORTSMOUTH
Umoja, Portsmouth’s three-day waterfront celebration honoring African-American heritage with music, art, food, and family-friendly fun, was given permission to begin its 33rd Year by the Elders: King Thomas Davis and Queen Regina Owens. Blue skies and mild weather helped to turn out a large crowd on the lawn to listen to musical groups on the stage and visit rows of vendors offering food, art items and clothing for sale. “The Umoja Festival is one of the longest-running cultural events of its kind in the country, and we’re excited to welcome residents and visitors alike to celebrate with us on Portsmouth’s beautiful waterfront,” said Shannon Glover, Mayor of the City of Portsmouth.
