Opportunities
Partner with the biggest African cultural festival in the U.S. — three days of fashion, music, art and community, reaching an engaged audience across the diaspora.
Celebration that makes a difference.
Ankara Festivals Organization was created in 2010 to increase the visibility of African culture through fashion, music, movies, dance and food. Since its conception, AFLA has showcased modern African designs in Ankara print — giving designers a platform and growing their entrepreneurial ambition.
The festival weekend draws industry professionals, aspiring newcomers and a mainstream of supporters of the arts and the African community. Our mission is to use fashion and music to educate, inspire and change lives by empowering creativity.
Through celebration, we can make a difference, support businesses, create jobs and bring the arts into the educational system.
