Overview

A celebration of the enormous and diverse African community living right here in Sydney, Africultures is celebrating its 15th year with a bumper lineup. More than 70 stalls representing countries and communities from across the continent will descend on Cathy Freeman Olympic Park on Saturday, September 2 for this showcase of food, music, art and fashion.

Head to the African Market Place to shop your way around more than 40 different stalls selling clothing, homewares, art, accessories and fabrics. Over at the Nile Food Court, you can sample the best eats that the African Australian community has to offer. And two huge stages will be set up at the park — with dancers, drummers and musicians of all kinds set to soundtrack the festival.

There will also be a fashion parade on one of the stages, music workshops that you can participate in, a sports zone hosting a basketball tournament and a kids zone for any families in attendance.

Tickets to the jam-packed day are available for $5. Or, if you want a nifty discount, you can nab a set of five for just $22.50.
