About Us

COMMUNITY CELEBRATION OF PLACE works with communities to use music, performance, art and oral history to bring together children and elders, as well as people of different backgrounds—economic, faith, racial, and cultural—to honor and celebrate our commonalties and differences. We work to create community-wide celebrations that include the music, art, and wisdom that exists within communities.
