Fest Afrika’s traditional African market event is back again! The African Market will be held on Saturday, August 1, in the yard of the Nekalab Cultural Centre from 11.00 to 18.00. Join us to sell your own products, present your association or perform on the open stage. You can also sign up as a festival volunteer.
The African Market is a free, family-friendly event and a vibrant meeting place for people interested in African cultures and communities. It brings together vendors of African food as well as other Africa-related products, services, and presentations. We prioritize ethically produced and Fair Trade products at the event.
There will be plenty to see and experience for all ages: the colorful vendor stalls, delicious African cuisine, and open stage performers create a warm atmosphere where you can easily spend the whole day. Saturday’s program continues at Nekalab after the market event, with J.C. Muyonjo, Trio Mandeng and Cheza Ngoma performing at the evening concert.
