Inspired by the joyous and vibrant culture of the African diaspora , this year’s Taste of Africa is themed Black joy, intending to showcase the appreciation and beauty of Black joy in all its forms. The event will begin with a filling dinner at the Exhibition Hall Midtown Room from 7- 8 p.m., with a diverse assortment of foods commonly eaten in 15+ African countries. The walk from the Exhibition Hall to the Ferst Center lobby will simultaneously hold an Art Crawl, including displays of various art from local Black/African artists. The showcase will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the Ferst Center presenting African fashion shows, comedic skits, vibrant music, dance performances, and a finale guest star artist performance! It will be a night you won't want to miss out on!
