Freetown celebrates 230 years anniversary with colorful cultural parade

Yesterday, Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, councillors and staff of Freetown City Council joined a cultural parade led by the leaders of the 17 ethnic groups in Freetown, in celebration of 230 years since the founding of Sierra Leoneโ€™s capital Freetown as the home of freed slaves.

The rich display of culture in the streets through music, outfits and dancing was a true testament of Freetown being the home of ethnic diversity.

We are proud that Freetown is home to all and we say a big thank you to all who made the parade a success as we continue to celebrate #FreetownAt230
