In collaboration with the artists in Haiti and New Orleans and other project partners, the Kanaval Ball scheduled to take place this Sunday, January 9 at the Fillmore, Philadelphia, is postponed to March 20, 2022, and will still be held at the Fillmore. If you were already registered for the event, you are still on the list.
