Culture remains at the epicenter of the African Festival of the Arts
The AFA legacy is one of connecting cultures and celebrating heritage
If you were to look for the exact heart and soul of the African Festival of the Arts on the grounds of Washington Park it would likely be the Ancestral Grove. There, for 30 years, the day before the start of the Festival, members of Africa International House, the staff, volunteers and the community gather to pay homage to the ancestors prior to the opening of the Festival.
