Afri-Fest East

The 2026 edition marks the beginning of a new chapter. With a refreshed vision and an Afro-modern theme, Afri-Fest East 2026 will showcase how tradition and innovation can move in

harmony, where ancestral rhythm meets contemporary creativity.

The 2026 programme has been carefully curated to elevate every dimension of Afrocentric experience, from music, fashion, food, and visual art through to leadership and innovation. The

festival will feature immersive installations, cross-cultural collaborations, and live showcases that celebrate Africa’s creative evolution while building bridges with the global community.

To Afri-Fest East, Afro-modern is more than a style. It is a statement and the pulse of a generation that honours its heritage while redefining its future. It is a fusion of sound, soul, and

story.

First set of Artist line-up will be announced in January 2026. Make sure to follow us on social media for announcements and updates.
