Wurzburg is all set to host the International Africa Festival, the largest festival for African music and culture in Europe. Across four stages and in front of 100,000 people, more than 250 musicians and dancers give a real taste of Africa’s rich musical traditions.
Visitors from Germany and abroad flock to the former royal seat of Wurzburg in Bavaria to experience the rich culture and exuberance of Africa.
Besides concerts, there are colourful bazaars selling handicrafts and everyday objects, countless stands serving delicious African food and drink, a craft market, children’s entertainment, exhibitions and a late-night programme featuring African and Caribbean DJs.
Founded in 1989, this year the Festival will take place in Talavera Mainwiesen, a huge festival ground located on the river front of the city from May 30th till June 2nd.
