FAACCE Festival
A continent in celebration.
Introduction
An annual flagship festival staged across multiple African cities and partner capitals — convening artists, designers, filmmakers, performers, scholars and audiences into a single, shared cultural moment.
Our Mission
To present Africa's creative excellence to the world at the scale, ambition and quality the world's great festivals reserve for themselves — programmed, produced and led from the continent.
