African World Festival

Each year, The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History celebrates the African World Festival®

This year's festival holds special significance as we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the museum — six decades of preserving, educating, and celebrating Black history and culture. From July 18 to 20, festival goers will experience an immersive journey through music, dance, art, storytelling, food, and meaningful conversations that highlight our shared heritage's strength, resilience, and beauty.
