The African Music and Cultural Festival returns for three huge days of programming this year

African Music and Culture Festival
words by staff writer

Fed Square is set to be filled with the tastes, sounds and rhythms of Africa for three days.

The African Music and Cultural Festival will return to Federation Square with three huge days celebrating the vibrant culture of Africa this weekend. Kicking off for a huge opening night on November 17, with a live outdoor cinema showing African Australian short films on the big screen alongside spoken word and jazz performances between films.

With days two and three of the festival showcasing 12 and 10 hours of non-stop entertainment respectively, it’s the perfect place to celebrate the very best of African culture.
