Guided by the Three Angels of the Rainbow, Granny visits Africa, the Americas, Mexico, Asia, and the Caribbean to celebrate the joy of Holiday Times!  From the African Harvest to Kwanzaa, from the Chinese New Year to Junkanoo…. a celebration of both diversity and oneness!    

A Denver family tradition for over three decades, this incredible blend of dance, music, and spoken word lifts the spirit and fills the heart with joy, love, and peace!  In 2024, Granny returns with 10 live performances!
