Our objective is to offer audiences a unique and culturally diverse experience unlike any other festival or event in the twin cities or US for that matter. AFRIFEST TM promises to be the BIGGEST Pan African festival in the Twin Cities; with diverse artists, music, food, culture, etc. but sticking with the theme of "Enlightenment, Diversity, and Unity".
This event will be promoted and advertised throughout the USA, making it a destination event in the summer. This will increase tourism to the Twin Cities and boost spending to local and immigrant businesses. This event will also offer local corporations and sponsors a chance to connect to and serve underserved and emerging markets.
