A Five-Year Journey
The All Africa Festival’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Starting from humble beginnings at Dubai’s Creek Park in 2018, it has grown into a festival that unites people of all nationalities to celebrate Africa’s essence through sound, art, fashion, and cuisine. For two consecutive years, it graced the foot of the Burj Khalifa in Burj Park, and now it’s all set to take Yas Island by storm.
Fostering Diversity & Inclusion
This move to Abu Dhabi reflects the UAE’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and culturally diverse society. With an increasing number of African expats finding opportunities and a welcoming environment in the UAE, the nation has become a global destination for creativity, entrepreneurship, and career opportunities.
A Festival With Global Partners
The All Africa Festival is proud to have partners like UAE Africa Connect, the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, and Miral, a leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences. These collaborations help bring the festival to life in all its electric vibrancy.
