About the International African Arts Festival
The International African Arts Festival began in 1971 as a fundraiser for the Uhuru Sasa School-a community based initiative that educated youth and adults about African culture. The fundraiser was a small festival with about 20 arts and crafts vendors, local entertainers, and food prepared by parents.
Almost 2,000 people came to the event and the fundraiser was a success. That early format of entertainment, food and market place drew increasing crowds annually and became known as the African Street Carnival. Four years later, the festival and was moved to the field at Boys and Girls High School where it became the African Street Festival.
Today the festival is known as the International African Arts Festival and has an estimated annual audience of 75,000. It is still held in Brooklyn but is now in its third transition to a larger venue to accommodate growing audiences. That original line-up of local folk arts entertainment has also remained but has since been accompanied by artists such as: The Mighty Sparrow, Fela Kuti, KRS-1 and Lauryn Hill; artists who grew out of these traditional arts to achieve national and international acclaim. The festival website is here.
