In addition, the festival featured children’s games, vendors, a fashion show, and fun-filled educational activities. All activities took place outdoors at the Delph Courtyard (Arizona State University’s West campus). It was a festive day for  family, and friends to enjoy a day of African music, dance, art, culture, and food!

The mission of AFASA, a 501(c) (3) organization that was founded in 1992, is to bring African people and friends of Africa in Arizona together to promote African awareness through educational and cultural activities. The organization is an invaluable educational resource about Africa in the state of Arizona. Since its inception in 1997, the African Festival has become the most elaborate annual community outreach event about Africa and the African people in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.

 

Admission and parking were free. The event is being sponsored, in part, by the Arizona Commission on the Arts and by Clippers Magazine.

 

For more information about the festival, call (623) 247-4869, e-mail afasa.org@gmail.com or go to www.africanfestival09.org or www.afasa.org.
