Take a tour of the continent right at your doorstep

The inaugural Annual African Lifestyle and Heritage Festival will be held at the Dries Niemandt Park, Kempton Park in Ekurhuleni this weekend  18 to 20 September.

The festival is a showcase of the beauty, diversity and ethnicity of each of the 54 countries on the African continent. The event aims to educate South Africans and other Africans on African cuisine, music, fashion, literature and arts ultimately to cultivate a sense unity within the continent.

The three-day spectacular will be hosted under the theme “Africa: the New Now -we will journey for our glorious past to our vibrant present”.
Exhibitors will showcase latest trends from all of the African countries. All products on show and on sale will be designed and produced in this continent. It will be a celebration of the African of the past meeting the new bold and youthful Africa.
Visitors will be able to “tour” the continent in the park as they will taste food from different parts of the continent, enjoy the music, buy art and try some of the latest fashion pieces – all in one day.
An estimated 15 000 visitors are expected to visit the festival (open from 12:00 to 21:00) over the three days.
The African Lifestyle and Heritage Festival is brought to you in partnership with the City of Ekurhuleni, SAFM, EKFM, Department of International Relations and Cooperation and the National Youth Development Agency.
