THE AFRICAN MARKETPLACE RETURNS TO AKRON'S PREMIER CULTURAL EVENT


This year's attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the sights & sounds of Africa and America for the 31st year of the festival, as never before. Not only will there be plenty of activities for the children, but the African Marketplace, complete with merchandise, food and craft booths will be out in force.

A lot has changed since the first festival. Sure, you can buy African clothes, books and gifts for the family online. But, there's still something to be said about knowing the person you're buying from personally and feeling their warmth and enthusiasm for the products they sell and the people they serve.

Come on out this Sunday and see what treasures our vendors and artisans have in store for you and yours.

The festivities begin at 11am with Harambee center stage. Be there, or be square.
