Under the theme “Celebrating Homecoming And Our Heritage”, the event aims to stimulate cultural revival, build a robust rural tourism package, promote Gambian social cohesion and memorialise Janjanbureh’s impressive 200 years historical evolution that witnessed the criss-crossing of several civilizations: African, Islam, Arabic, English, Portuguese and Christianity.
Cabinet Ministers, members of the Diplomatic & Consular Corps and several local and foreign dignitaries will grace this significant milestone of Gambian history.
The National Organizing Committee for Janjanbureh’s 200 years anniversary welcomes active community participation across cultures, traditions, histories, nature and academia and will be updating the public accordingly.
