African World Festival


This July, The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is proud to celebrate the 40th Annual African World Festival. We're excited about this milestone celebration.

Join us at Hart Plaza for this 3-day celebration that highlights the beauty, strength, and spirit of the African Diaspora. We expect over 25,000 people to enjoy our headliner acts, stages filled with entertainment, and over 125 vendors with food, clothing, health products, visual arts, live demonstrations, community resources and information, and much more!

Our gathering this year will highlight and represent our community and our shared past, present, and future. We look forward to exchanging stories and honoring where we've been and where we're going.
