After a successful 30th African World Festival that brought 100,000 attendees to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, AWF will be celebrated once again on the grounds of The Wright Museum with performances, poetry, arts and crafts, African drumming and dance, hundreds of vendors, ethnic foods, and events for all ages, including an expanded Watoto Village for the youngest among us!
This FREE, 3-day festival for the entire family takes place
Friday, August 16 through Sunday, August 18, 2013
from 11 AM to 11 PM daily.
It is the world's largest institution dedicated to the African American experience! The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History provides learning opportunities, exhibitions, programs and events based on collections and research that explore the diverse history and culture of African Americans and their African origins.
Founded in 1965 by Detroit obstetrician Dr. Charles Wright, this 125,000 square foot museum is located in the heart of Midtown Detroit's Cultural Center. Key to the experience is And Still We Rise: Our Journey Through African American History and Culture, the Museum's 22,000 square foot, interactive core exhibit, which attracts and enthralls thousands of visitors per year. Thousands more enjoy a wide array of spectacular events including concerts, film screenings, lectures, performances, community health & fitness classes, and so much more!
An amazing adventure of history, art and achievement awaits you or your group at The Wright Museum™!
