Cameroonian community celebrated National Day with food, music, and soccer

Members of the Cameroonian Association of Greater Philadelphia celebrated Cameroon’s National Day, on Saturday, May 18, in Lansdowne. The actual Cameroonian National Day is May 20.

People listened to the dance rhythms of Makossa music and enjoyed Eru and other Cameroonian dishes at a Cameroon National Day celebration on Saturday, May 18, at the Beverly Hills Recreation Area in Lansdowne.

While Cameroon’s National Day was actually on Monday, May 20, the Cameroonian Cultural Association of Greater Philadelphia chose to have a daylong picnic the Saturday before.

Cameroon’s National Day celebrates the anniversary of May 20, 1972, when the Cameroonian people voted to form a unitary state, rather than a federal government.
