Embracing cultural diversity while celebrating more than 20 years of African influence in Middle Georgia.
Join us on May 1 – 2, 2021, at the Macon Centreplex, as we drum up a lot of excitement, entertainment and fun at our Pan African Festival of Georgia, as the festival prepares for another successful year, with something that everyone in the family will enjoy.
The 2021 Pan African Festival will be bigger and better than ever and we’re planning it full of jam-packed activities — music, dance, food, art, storytelling and food trucks — and the return of the Children’s Village.
This family friendly event will feature delicious Caribbean and Soul Food options and food from all around the World for your dining pleasure. There also will be unique goods for purchase, as well as local and regional artists and artisans who will showcase their works for purchase.
Due to COVID-19 the festival will take place in the parking lot of the Macon Centreplex. This will allow for a safer environment, outdoors with social distancing, for the benefit of all attendees.
