African Descent Festival Presents The Boom Boom
The African Descent Festival runs on the Saturday and Sunday of August 12th and 13th in 2023. Hours on both days are from 10:00 am until 9:00 pm.
Location: English Bay Beach Vancouver BC
The African Descent Festival is an African arts and cultural showcase. The first edition of the event took place in 2015 and since that time it has grown into the largest festival for people of African descent in all of Western Canada. The event is a great opportunity for the African community in Metro Vancouver to get together. It’s also a fun way for others to learn about the different cultures of Africa.

The African Descent Festival promotes cultural diversity and brings people together to enjoy art and entertainment by African talent. There are plenty of live performances at the festival each year. There’s also usually a marketplace with handmade crafts, clothing and more for sale. Food vendors sell African food on site and there are also family-friendly activities for all ages.

2023 marks the festival’s ninth year. Organized by the African Descent Society BC, the two-day event is free to attend. Donations, however, are encouraged and appreciated.
