Every creation carries a fragment of Tanzania while echoing the beauty of East Africa and spirit of Africa as a whole.

Founder and chef Ashley Maybe shares this about her journey into culinary excellence and innovation:
"The foundation of my skill set is rooted in African-American tradition and everything I learned from my family — how to listen to your food to know when it’s finished or calling, ‘season to taste,’ and what it truly means. Each meal is prepared vibrationally and intentionally with added nutrients to elevate comfort food."
​
We are thrilled and honoured to be working with Ashley and her team at The Box. It will serve as a gathering point for our bus transfers to and from the venue, they are catering our lunches for the journey on Thursday, and they are providing baggage storage for those who wish to explore the town before or after the festival.
