WHAT IS THE AFRICAN MARKETPLACE & CULTURAL FAIRE?
The African Marketplace & Cultural Faire is an internationally recognized celebration of African themed businesses, African Diaspora art and culture, travel and trade -- a dynamic fusion of Pan-African cultures unified in an environment of commerce and the arts. Through the collective purpose of Africans, African Americans, African Latinos, Native Americans, Mexicans, Pacific Islanders and Asians whose roots are of Africa descent, the Cultural Faire restores vibrancy to urban communities and fosters the appreciation of cultures that are connected to the Diaspora.
