Brno will host the annual Afro Fest on 26 July in the courtyard of the Old Town Hall. Throughout the day, the event will include concerts, dance and music workshops, and traditional food from all over the continent. Visitors will also be able to see and buy many items on display in the event’s craft market.
Through food, music, dance, art and fashion, the festival aims to showcase both the historic and contemporary aspects of African heritage. The organizers believe this to be a way to inform, educate, and entertain visitors, while promoting cultural diversity and inclusion. Last but not least, the festival also strives to strengthen the sense of belongingness among members of the African diaspora and to foster community connections.

Throughout the rest of the day, children under the age of 10 will be able to access most of the festival for free.Additional information and tickets available on the event’s official website.
