Come experience rich and colourful African cultures at the Africa Day Festival.

The festival showcases African art, clothing, dance, music and food, with activities for kids. There are also workshops on African drumming and many more.

Festival goers can enjoy lunch at the food marquees, browse the many stalls with African inspired items. Then stay for the fantastic traditional performances on stage before having a drink at our bar to close out the day.

This is an opportunity to bring together African communities to celebrate our cultures with each other and the rest of the community. Everyone is welcome at this free event – we want to see many colourful faces on the day.

Over 7,000 people attend the festival, now in its seventh year. The festival has great participation from across African communities, businesses and performers.

The festival is supported by the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council as major sponsors.
