We invite you to the first ever, Africa in America® Music, Dance, and Culture Festival to be held on June 7 - 9, 2025, at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA. The event will be the first-ever of its kind, and is 100% dedicated to celebrating and promoting the lineage of the African Diaspora on a local and global level. Our performers and dance instructors represent the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community, and as Producers we are committed to hiring local and national production vendors that are a reflection of the community.
The mission of Africa in America® is to support the impact the culture of our African Diaspora has made in present-day music, tv/film, fashion and culinary arts and lifestyles. Through music, dance, food and action our goal is to highlight the importance of brand power, education, innovation and preservation of the richness of our African roots by providing platforms for open communication and integrative experience within the arts.
Through our events and actions we create programming that is inclusive and proudly represents our communities.
