The event was initially scheduled for 23 to 26 November 2023. According to our source, a new date for the event has been fixed for 4 to 7 January 2024, a period expected to be the peak of the tourist season with a sizeable number of Gambians visiting from abroad. Our source said some five African heads of state have been invited to attend the event. A government statement last month said under the theme “celebrating homecoming and our heritage”, the event will aim at stimulating cultural revival, building a robust rural tourism package, promoting Gambian social cohesion and memorialising Janjangbureh’s impressive 200-year historical evolution that witnessed the criss-crossing of several civilisations namely African, Islam, Arabic, English, Portuguese and Christianity.
