About Us

Vancouver's AfrikaDey Festival is hosted by the African Heritage Society  to promote economic development through increased exposure for minority owned businesses. African-Canadian owned businesses have the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the public and procurement officers from major corporations and Government Entities.

It is also an opportunity for major corporations and Government entities to develop viable working relationships with minority owned businesses while marketing their products and services to a growing consumer market. This is an opportunity to network with other businesses while building a stronger business community.

AfrikaDey Festival was also created to provide a venue for African Roots, Worldbeat and Urban Music in Cultural Extravaganza while heightening awareness and building appreciation for the contributions of African-Canadians to the local arts and culture communities. This event brings together Africans from all over the World, and people from other cultures in one venue for two days of Celebration.
 

Celebrating it's 6th year of bringing the best emerging and established artists from Canada and abroad to Vancouver, AfrikaDey Festival 2008! will feature another stellar line-up of musical performers, plus a variety of arts events including an art exhibition, drum and dance workshops and storytelling. AfrikaDey Festival! comes together for two days of Celebration on August 16 & 17, 2008.

Immerse yourself in all things African with live music, delicious African food, exquisite crafts and artifacts, and a children's village with music, face painting, and interactive educational games.

AfrikaDey Festival 2007! will be presented by African Heritage Society and African Vibes 102.7FM.
