The second annual Africa Day Fest was held May 26 at Bernice Garden and along several blocks of South Main Street. The family friendly event was a celebration of African culture.
During the day, festivalgoers could enjoy music, food and dance performances, join a large drum circle, listen to a storyteller and participate in children's activities. Booths in the garden and along the street sold a variety of items including artwork, books and jewelry by local artists, colorful clothing, locally made food and the official festival T-shirt designed by local artist Ariston Jacks. The event was free to the public.
Benito Lubazibwa, originally from Tanzania, oversaw the event hosted by Afrika House.
