BAM’s corner of Fort Greene transforms into a pulsing celebration of community, discovery and collective joy at this beloved annual festival. They join with longtime neighbors, first-time visitors, the DanceAfrica Council of Elders and partners at Weeksville Heritage Center and The Billie Holiday Theater (formerly Restoration Arts) to create the nation’s largest festival of African dance—and Brooklyn’s unofficial start of summer. Featuring the iconic outdoor bazaar, traditional dance and music from Cameroon, classes, workshops, late-night dance parties and FilmAfrica’s lineup of cinematic gems, this can’t-miss cultural celebration electrifies Brooklyn for a 47th year. Abdel R. Salaam acts as artistic director.
