Welcome

The Capital City African American Cultural Association, Inc. (CCAACA) is hosting an Old School celebration of the 50’s 60’s 70’s and 80’s .  .  .  Reflecting on Our Past – Advancing into Our Future as we continue to move onward and upward in commemoration of the 11th Annual African American Parade and Family Heritage Festival.

Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to participate in our 11th Annual Parade and Family Heritage Festival, “Celebrating the African Community,” which will be held, at 11:00am on Saturday, August 14, 2010 in downtown Lansing, Michigan.

CCAACA's mission is to provide educational and recreational opportunities for Mid-Michigan citizens to experience African American art, culture, and history.

Our purpose is to showcase the achievements, culture, creativity and diverse talents of African Americans, which are a part of our proud and rich heritage.  All parade entries must be consistent with its theme and purpose.

The parade is expected to be a major extravaganza drawing both participants and media coverage from across the country.  Thousands of spectators will line the streets of downtown Lansing to watch the parade.  Many more will attend the festival at Ferris Park, which will feature music, food, and other fun activities.
