The Amani Festival is a once-a-year street fair celebrating the many cultures and ethnicities found around the globe.  This all day event is held rain or shine in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  There are street performers such as a roving Mariachi band, Scottish bagpipe player, belly dancers, and others.  Vendors sell foods, crafts, clothing, books, toys, etc.  Food stands represent Thai, German, Chinese, Greek, and American cuisine - at a minimum.  Other vendors sell wares from Latin America, Africa, the United States, Russia and elsewhere. 

To date we’ve assembled a wonderful group of volunteers who are working to bring to the greater Carlisle community an outstanding Festival in downtown Carlisle on May 1st .  We update this Web Site as plans develop; however, if you need additional information, please email your area of interest at amanicarlisle@yahoo.com or call 717-254-1245.
