What is the Little Africa Festival?

The Little Africa Festival is in its 11th year celebrating and showcasing the vibrant culture and heritage of Africa and the local business and cultural district of Minnesota. The festival is hosted by African Economic Development Solutions (AEDS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering African immigrants and entrepreneurs through economic development, small business support, and cultural engagement. The festival kicks off at 12noon with a Parade of Nations featuring the rich cultures within African Communities. 

No volunteers are needed at this event.
