African Festival Yokohama proudly remains one of Japan’s largest African cultural events.
What happens?
Past years have seen a lively mix of African music and dance performances, hands-on workshops where you can try traditional instruments like the djembe or join an African dance class, and an African Day program introducing daily life and culture from different African countries.
There’s also typically an embassy area run by African embassies in Japan, offering travel and cultural information, alongside an African market selling crafts and regional goods, plus a food area serving African dishes and drinks.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
