Goombay Festival

Just one more great reason to be in Asheville. This weekend was the annual Goombay festival (a word derived from a word that means rhythm).

The YMI Cultural Center's "Goombay!" Festival brings a variety of entertainment that delights every
festival-goer. From Steel Drums, African-America Dancers, local Gospel Groups,
and Contemporary Rhythm Bands, the activities are geared for families. (this
directly from the YMI site)

We forgot to take our camera so I only got a couple shots of the parade with my phone but I thought I would post them anyway.
