Liverpool City Council will see the city centre come alive with the history and culture of Africa with the Motherland African Festival being held later this month.
The festival is allowing locals to experience the mystery and excitement of the African continent where music, dance, food, and timeless customs come together in a joyous display of community and heritage.
The Motherland African Festival blends the unique history and story-telling of Africa’s compelling cultures played out before a backdrop of stunning music from a dozen or more countries.
The entertainment program and food choices are as diverse and spectacular as Africa itself.
It offers the region a chance to be dazzled by the dance and drumming spectacle of global performer Lucky Lartey and a showcase of African clothing textiles by Fabrics of Multicultural Australia (FOMA) featuring Kis-Simba Brand’s newest designs in the fascinating African Runway segment.
The music, costumes, and performances reflect the entertainment and creativity of Africa, its performers and history.
There is also the chance to taste food from more than a dozen different countries including Sudan, Sierra Leone, Morocco, Mauritius, Egypt, and Zimbabwe offering chicken, lamb and beef in any number of recipes from curries to finger food.
The event will be held in Macquarie Mall from Friday 19 May to Sunday 21 May.
