The festival will include activities such as a fashion show, performances of drumming and other music, and live dancing. There will also be a gala presentation showing off a number of different cultural traditions. The all-day festival will be free to the public and aims to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities. The City of Milton will be providing its support, and there will be tickets sold for a raffle.
The African and Multicultural Festival’s stated mission is to:
“Encourage community and cultural inclusion in the city of Milton.”
The event is being organized by the Akwaba Cultural Exchange, a group that is known for putting on stage performances of traditional African dances and songs, hosting educational programs and holding lectures about the tradition and practice of African arts.
Events like this are typically a community effort, from promotion through local Print shops to volunteer effort constructing and clearing the stage, and the Milton African and Multicultural Festival is no exception, putting out a call for volunteers to help with running the event.
The Milton African and Multicultural Festival is currently scheduled to take place throughout the day on August 14 at the Milton Sports Centre’s Community Park.Get a Free Quote for Print
