Western Sydney is bringing back one of its most dynamic and vibrant cultural celebrations, with the return of the much-loved Africultures Festival, popping off at Cathy Freeman Park on May 7.
Africultures has been in business in Sydney since 2009, but this year the Sydney Olympic Park precinct is putting on an electric, one-day-only festival show in collaboration with Park Sounds, that is guaranteed to put stars in your eyes and a beat in your heart. With over 40 diverse African nations being represented on the day, this community-led event explores the multilayered diversity of the African diaspora in Sydney in one very big, and very delicious way. We’re talkin’ food stalls from ten different countries, a plethora of live music performances, over 45 market stalls peddling African-made fashion and wares, a flamboyant fashion show, and, for all those who play the beautiful game - an Africultures six-aside soccer tournament will be going down all day long.
Tickets are just $5 plus a booking fee and are available here.
