GUINEEFEST 2009 is a premier cultural event sponsored by PROJECT2005 and will
take place annually in the Washington DC area. It will include music, arts and sports from Guinea. The theme of
the festival this year is "History, Tradition and Hope".
This year, the event will take place at

GUINEEFEST will be held over July 4 Weekend and will be for many, the traditional way to
enjoy the summer. The festival features live performances by local artists, fine art, handmade jewelry, sculpture and clothing by artisans
from Guinea and its neighboring countries and much, much more.
We would be remiss if we did not mention the festival's diverse culinary offerings. Let your taste buds dance in
delight from the abundance of Guinean cuisine in the food court. Taste the many dishes from the different corners of
Guinea and its neighboring countries, and many hotter, spicy, delicious cultural cuisines of the African Diaspora.
