ABOUT US
African Fest
is a story in motion
African Fest USA is an independent collaborative of professionals for the advancement of African culture. Mainly focused on Culture and entertainment; African Fest USA invites and encourages artists, and other professionals to showcase their work and contribute to the ongoing conversation and action across the diaspora. From family stories told to children, to the written stories, entertainment is part of many cultures across Africa, with distinct stories in each country. The cultures, identities, and people of Africa are holders of a unique individual and continental story. Africa’s story is yet to be told on a global stage.
A.F.USA can play a critical part in introducing African culture to the citizens of Arizona. We are storytellers; each participant and contributor is a holder of a unique tale, and their art an expression of the story. A.F.USA is the result of the thought, creativity, and art of the individuals that are part of the festival and who tell their unique stories. The initiative is a story in motion told through a variety of foods, entertainment, seminars, festivals, and trainings connecting Arizona. Every bit of music, food, and entertainment distinctly presented at the festival is intended to offer the citizens of Arizona a cultural exchange.

African Cultural Center
Headquarters of African Fest USA
We aim to have “African Cultural Center” begin operation in the near future at the headquarters of African Fest USA. This center will serve as a cultural hub where anyone can call or drop by to visit and view quarterly showcases of the African continent. The center will host everyday activities and serve as a small gallery for programs, community events, art programs, and academic gatherings on Africa.
