A celebration of African cultural legacy

ACF 2026 is a landmark celebration of Africa’s cultural rise—a global homecoming that brings together the continent and its diaspora in one powerful and inspiring gathering. For two unforgettable days, cultural leaders, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, artists, and business pioneers will converge in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a dynamic festival where creativity, commerce, and community meet.
