Children's Alley

Dear Community Organization:

We invite you to take part in the 16th Amani Festival, which will be held on Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. between Hanover and Pitt Streets. Please participating in our Children’s Alley by providing an activity (craft or game) for the children who attend the festival. If you would like to participate and are unsure of an activity, we can provide suggestions. We are looking for activities that provide children with a multi-cultural experience and that relates to our theme, “What Does Peace Mean to Me?”

The Amani Festival is open to the public and takes place rain or shine. All participants will be assigned a space under a tent located on High Street.

Organizations are asked to set up their activity by 9:30 am and clean up at 2 pm. You are welcome to bring fliers for distribution to promote your organization. Everything in Children’s Alley is free, therefore charging for your activity is not permitted. Prizes will be distributed to children who complete a certain amount of activities.

Enclosed is a registration form, please send the information to wellnesswithamy@centurylink.net with Children’s Alley Registration marked in the subject line. We ask that all participants register by April 6th.

The Amani Festival is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization designed to bring people from various cultures together to provide a forum for everyone to enjoy and learn more about each other’s culture. The Amani Festival Committee has a long history of working in the community to forge relationships between different cultures.

Please share this letter with your organization and consider joining hands to make this year’s “Children’s Alley” at the Amani Festival one of the best ever. If you have any questions, please contact me at (717) 245-0102.

Sincerely,

Amy Magnuson
