As a testimony to the ‘special relationship’ linking Liberia and the US, several venues in the region will be celebrating Liberia’s 166 years of independence.

For the cool, corporate cats in downtown DC, Look may be your venue (interesting that Arik Air, a Nigerian airline, is a co-sponsor):

Taste Lounge is still classy, but should have a more African vibe:

Finally, the Nectar Lounge Facebook page is billing a performance by a Liberian artist, who is town in advance of a major Liberian music concert in Philadelphia tomorrow.  I might go there after having a great time last week.

Liberia Independence Day Celebrations in DC

Liberia independence day DC

This Saturday, the Liberian Embassy hosted celebrations to honor the country’s 166th year of Independence.  The independence day is this Friday (July 26).  I had thought that these celebrations were going to take place on the 27th, but got my dates wrong (perhaps I need a personal scheduler, this comes very soon on the heels of my Ice Prince concert fiasco).

You can read about the celebrations and see some pictures on the Liberian news site, Front Page Africa, here.  The article is courtesy of a VOA journalist.
