The Directors and the Team would like to welcome you to the Festival of Africa website.

With our vast experience in exhibition and entertainment sectors we offer to you the best of time at the Festival.

Shortly, Melbourne will experience the joy, rhythm and excitement of this fabulous Festival for two glorious days from Saturday, 24 November to Sunday 25 November.

We hope to present a rare blend of African arts, culture and music for delight of all visitors, offering an outstanding program of theatre, dance, music and community events for all visitors. There will also be stands of well known local and international companies to promote their merchandise and services.

We will endeavour to include participation by most of the African communities based in Australia as well as their supporters and friends. The Festival is about a lot more than just putting on a show… it will encourage engagement and participation from everyone in the greater community towards Africa and all things African.

It will also showcase African arts and handicraft. We hope to create a regular platform for Africa's reservoir of writers, composers and performers in all disciplines of the performing arts, who are based in Australia. We will continue to support the growth and initiatives of many NGOs, volunteers, well wishers and lovers of Africa to generate active interest in the continent.

We are sure our visitors will be impressed with feelings of optimism and joy presented by our creative artists and participants.
