Africa Festival in the Park 2026.
This is where Africa meets Canberra and where families come together.
Get ready, Canberra! The park comes alive with the sounds, colours and flavours of Africa as the African community invites the whole city to celebrate.
This is not just a festival.
It’s a big multicultural community gathering in the heart of Canberra.
From drumming and Afrobeat to highlife, reggae and modern African grooves, expect performances that get little feet jumping and grown folks dancing.
Enjoy smoky grills, rich stews, vegan favourites and sweet treats from across the continent, cooked with love and shared the African way.
Walk around the stalls and enjoy the beautiful African prints, handmade crafts, storytelling, and cultural displays that celebrate heritage while welcoming everyone.
Games, face painting, cultural activities and safe play spaces so parents can relax while kids have the time of their lives.
This is a festival built on togetherness, respect and joy, where cultures meet, and lifelong memories are made. Proudly African. Proudly Canberran. Proudly Australian.
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!!!
It is a free, fun-packed event. Come one, come all.
