The event is designed to be a thorough representation of African talent through the lens of art, cuisine, music and fashion. The festival is slated to occur from December 28th through December 29th 2022.
A host of other music talents are scheduled to perfrom at the star-studded event including Mavin Records' Ayra Starr, and many other Afrobeats artists within the African continent. The show is not just an extravaganza that celebrates African art, the culinary experience is also an integral part of the experience, and organizer's of the show will give local vendors and food business owners an opportunity to sell their food on the premises during the occasion.
