In honor and celebration of the District of Columbia’s ethnically diverse African communities, the DC Office of African Affairs will be hosting the 3rd Annual DC Africa Festival.
The Festival celebrates September as the newly proclaimed “African Heritage Month” and highlights the diversity of Africans in the District, and the cultural connection of all people of African descent, through art, dance, food and other forms of cultural and artistic expression.
The event features a number of live performances, dance, a Parade of Flags, Children’s Village, Fashion Show, Government and Community Resources, Wellness Pavilion, and many other forms of entertainment and educational activities.
As we are quickly approaching this event, the DC Mayor's Office on African Affairs (OAA) is looking for dynamic volunteers for the 3rd Annual DC Africa Festival. We invite all students interested in this opportunity to register online: http://oaafestival.weebly.com/volunteering.html or contact them directly.
Spread the word about the festival, and encourage your members, networks and communities you serve to attend this joyful, festive and educational event!
