Africanival is to share and celebrate with Edmontonians, the colorful, rich, inviting and diverse cultures of peoples of African descent in Edmonton and beyond.
Africanival is a vibrant celebration of the city's diverse black community. Positioned in the heart of Edmonton, Africanival serves as a dynamic platform to honour and showcase the multifaceted heritage, traditions, and artistic expressions of African and Afro-Caribbean communities. Committed to inclusivity, the event invites individuals from all backgrounds to join in the festivities and immerse themselves in the rich essence of African and diasporic culture.
The meticulously organized event offers an immersive experience with traditional dance performances, live music, art exhibitions, a culinary journey through African flavours, a vibrant market with arts and crafts vendors, cultural film screenings, and dedicated areas for kids' activities. Beyond entertainment and education, Africanival also serves as a thriving marketplace for local artisans and entrepreneurs, providing economic support to the community while promoting authentic African and Afro-Caribbean goods.
