African Festival in Lowell, Massachusetts

The African Festival in Lowell, Massachusetts is held annually each June. The Festival comprises traditional food, music, dancing, fashion, art and more--all designed to educate and to entertain participants and patrons alike. This wonderful cultural experience is greatly anticipated by people of all ethnicities, making the Festival a highlight of Lowell's summertime activities.

Gordon Haim, an emigre from Liberia by way of Ghana, has contributed greatly to the local community over the years. Not only did he orchastrate the first African Festival, a culmination of his years of integrating African culture and awareness into the Lowell community, but he also helped found the African Cultural Association, which sponsors the event today.

Attending the African Festival is a great way to experience the culture of Lowell's African community and to learn about the traditions that are celebrated today.
