ABOUT NB AFRO FEST

The New Brunswick African Festival (NB Afro Fest) is Atlantic Canada's biggest African and cultural festival, an exciting annual celebration that brings together communities to experience the richness, diversity, and vibrancy of African and Afrocentric cultures. Through live music, dance, art, food, workshops, vendors, and cultural showcases, NB Afro Fest creates a welcoming space where tradition and creativity meet, and where people of all backgrounds can connect, learn, and celebrate together.

Proudly rooted in New Brunswick and growing each year, this bilingual festival highlights the strength and diversity of African communities across the province and beyond, promoting multiculturalism, unity, and cultural pride. NB Afro Fest is more than a festival, it is a movement, a community, and a celebration of culture shared with the world.
