Kartong Festival Friday 26th and Saturday 27th of March 2010.

Join us as Kartong celebrates its fifth anual festival. A unique opportunity to experience the best of local traditions and culture in a way that is as much for their friends and families as it is to visitors from overseas.

The Kartong Festival is set in one of the oldest and most unspoilt coastal villages of the Gambia, within walking distance of the soft sandy Atlantic beaches.

The Festival will be a host to the very best of music and dance from West Africans at home.

The whole village of Kartong welcomes all and wishes to share the beauty and hospitality for which this area is renowned.

Kartong is on the southerly border of the Gambia and the Casamance Region of Senegal, within easy of Banjul International Airport.

Kartong Festival is working with African Linx in the U.K. who are encouraging cross cultural collaboration. African Linx organise music events bringing together the best U.K. and African artists.
