Kreyolfest Celebrates Haitian Culture This past Saturday at Wingate Park, over twenty-thousand people showed up to celebrate the Seventh Annual Kreyolfest, a day-long festival of music, dance, and cuisine to celebrate Haitian Culture. This yearly event is the largest Haitian music event in the Northeast, and once again, managed care organization Health Plus was the sponsor. Originally called Festi Compas , Kreyolfest has been enchanting audiences each year since 2001. This year's event, bringing in the largest crowds yet, also boasted some of the biggest names in Haitian Music today. Acts such as Djakout Mizik, T-Vice, System Band, Vwadezil, Kreyol La, Tokay, Zin, and many more took the stage, and kept the party going with a continuous twelve hours of performances. Revelers in attendance danced away to the sounds of Konpa, Rasinn, and Rap-Creole. "Kreyolfest is one of best music festivals that Brooklyn has to offer," said Tom Early, Executive Director of Health Plus. "Each year the crowds get larger, and the music, dance, and food gets more intense. We're proud to be a part of this event, as a presenting sponsor, and we look forward to continuing our support in the future."
