Tenth Anniversary

The year 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of the African Festival™.  The annual event has continued to record positive outcomes and reviews beyond the imagination of its originator.

Over the years, the festival has been staged and presented at many locations. Sometimes, multiple venues are used for the presentation of different events of the festival. Below we capture some of these venues:

The African Festival™ was established to showcase the significance of African cultures and their influence across the globe. The festival also contributes to the cultural tourism development of the community and provides a platform for socio-cultural links that strengthens community understanding through cultural enrichment.
