Message from the president
Welcome to AFROFEST 2016.
We appreciate you! Your continuous support, has resulted in AFROFEST
growing to become the largest free African festival in North America. We
understand the value of sharing the African culture in the most diverse city in
the world – Toronto, and it is our pleasure to have you share this experience with
us. As you look around you will see amazing diversity exhibited by the artists, vendors
and visitors: Accept it, embrace it, appreciate it, encourage it and learn from it – This
is what makes our vibrant community great!
This year we are pleased to include three unique elements which enhance the value
of the festival while catering to our ever growing international audience.
These include:
•
Having a three day festival. On July 8th, 2016, there will be an AFROFEST Pre-Party
which will feature Asiko Afrobeat Ensemble.
•
AFROFEST 2016 will be recorded and broadcast on AfroGlobal TV
(Rogers Cable – 708, Bell 2472).
•
This year we have included an area to cater for anyone with special needs and
an area where nursing mothers can change their children. Please ask one of our
volunteers for more information.
As you enjoy the festival, make sure you experience all it has to offer: The seasoned
artists on the main stage, the up and coming artists on the Baobab stage, the
bustling African market place for food and African art and crafts, the children’s
creative village which has activities for children and our drum zone where some of
the most amazing drummers within the African community in Toronto meet and play
different styles of the African drum.
