Since its inception in 2018, Celebrate Africa has become a beloved county tradition—growing into one of the region’s most spirited celebrations of African identity and pride. The festival not only recognizes the strength and beauty of the African diaspora but also creates a welcoming, family-friendly space for cultural exchange, music, food, and art.

With live performances from KanKouran West African Dance Company, Feedel Band, TolumiDE, and Coyaba Dance Theater, this year’s festival promises an experience that’s both uplifting and unforgettable. The Celebrate Africa Vendor Village is back and bigger than ever, offering attendees a chance to shop for handcrafted treasures and support local African-owned small businesses.

You’ll also find a delicious array of African cuisine from local food trucks, featuring dishes from across the continent.
