The Afro Air Festival will be a vibrant celebration of the African Diaspora in motion that transforms Fair Park into a pan-African village with a day of food, music, dance, visual art, education, and community.
Founded and directed by Dallas-based artist and cultural producer Weyni Kahsay, Afro Air is inspired by Eritrea’s famed EXPO festival and reimagined for a global, diasporic lens. With immersive experiences that uplift Black cultures across the globe, from Afro-Caribbean to Afro-Latinx, from continental Africa to the Deep South, the festival welcomes everyone to fly with us toward a more connected future.
The festival will feature over 25 performers and artists and over 40 vendors. Main stage performances include Zimbabwean DJ duo Lex & Answer, Cameroon singer Ginny Worldwide, Nigerian singer David Coast, hip hop artists D-Sensei and Bran Movay, singer and instrumentalist HT Kennedy, international DJ Asa Ace, poet Daylan Burgess, Amapiano DJ DeeDee, and Femme DTX.
Other performances include the heart-pounding African Village Drummers, a comedy show by FTC (For The City) Comedy, the genre-bending energy of live artist BANWO, and the electrifying moves of CKonpa Dance Co., specializing in Haitian Kompa and Caribbean dance.
