the project
APNET is a 100% volunteer-run organization that organizes several events and programs each year. We need your financial support to make AfriFest - Taste of Africa a success.
AfriFest Cincy: Taste of Africa will take place on July 29 from noon to 8pm and will activate Burnet Woods Park. AfriFest exists to celebrate Africa through cultural awareness, enhancing the community’s knowledge of the African cultures represented locally, and connecting individuals to resources in the community. AfriFest is a free public event showcasing African cultures, food, vendors, entertainment, fashion show, games, and other fun activities within Burnet Woods Park, an underutilized park near the University of Cincinnati.
