You observe Togo's distinctive animals including African elephants, spotted hyenas, various antelope species, and crocodiles in its savannas and waterways. You find that Togolese households commonly keep dogs, cats, and goats as pets and working animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.

The signature event is the blanket toss, where participants are launched high into the air using a sealskin blanket held by dozens of people. The higher you go, the more whales you will catch next season. The AHA! moment: this tradition has been practiced for over 1,000 years, long before Alaska was part of America, long before America existed.
A day for smiling at strangers. In the Midwest, this is redundant. In New York City, this is terrifying.
