Let’s get together!

Fest Afrika wants to call together Finland’s African music and dance enthusiasts! We invite all of you to participate at our “Let’s get together” event at Telakka on Thursday, July 24th, where you can perform and present your groups activities to others. We hope that the event also offers an opportunity to create ideas for future collaboration between different groups!

If you want to perform at this event, please, send the Fest Afrika team an email by June 1st: Write a short description of your group (or yourself) and your performance, remember to mention the number of performers, and send it to: info@festafrika.net

The performances should not be longer than 15 minutes, so that we can fit everyone into the program. We will offer all performers food and the possibility to purchase discount tickets to Fest Afrika’s Friday and Saturday concerts.
