The All Africa Festival (AFF): Experience Africa’s Vibrancy in Dubai

The All Africa Festival is the region’s largest showcase of pan-African cultures that aims to bring together the region’s residents and expats to experience the continent’s vibrant energy, beauty, and diversity.

Burj Park in Downtown Dubai is set to host All Africa Festival Dubai from October 21 to 23, 2021, with Burj Khalifa as the backdrop. The three-day festival will showcase the vibrancy of Africa in Dubai.

The event was first curated in 2018. And this time, in collaboration with Emaar, it will be a place to enjoy African food and cultures. Performances by the local and international artists, fashion exhibitions, art installations, heritage-oriented activities will be there.

“We are thrilled to be bringing back AFF this year, an event first curated in 2018 with the desire to showcase Africa’s vibrant food and entertainment experiences to a growing expat community in the UAE and the region,” said Nina Olatoke, CEO and Co-Founder of the All Africa Festival.
