Overview

African Food Festival is a family celebration of culture, food, music and art. A place that feels like home. By us for everyone

African Food Festival is a vibrant family festival where people come together through culture, food, music, and art. A place filled with flavor, rhythm, creativity, and joy, where generations meet, stories are shared, and everyone feels welcome.

Enjoy authentic African dishes, live music and dance performances, inspiring art, and interactive workshops. For our youngest visitors, the Kids Corner offers creative activities and space to play, while families laugh, dance, and celebrate.

African Food Festival is about togetherness, eating together, dancing together, laughing together, and celebrating life as one community. Rooted in African culture and diaspora stories, yet open to everyone, the festival creates a place called home, right in the heart of the city.

Come for the food. Stay for the feeling.
By us, for everyone.
