African Flava: A Festival of Art, Music, & Cuisine
Emory University's grassy quadrangle will be alive with the rhythm
and spirit of African culture during the outdoor African Flava
Festival and Concert. A kid-friendly alternative to that weekend's
Music Midtown, African Flava will feature performances ranging from
traditional dancers and drummers to some of the city's best—and
youngest—jazz musicians. Games, storytelling, art-making activities,
and food from restaurants It's Tropical, Queen of Sheba, and Shewit
will complement the performances and engage festival-goers of all
ages. Tickets are $7, available through the Arts at Emory Box Office,
404-727-5050. Tickets are $5 for Museum members. Emory University
students, staff, and faculty receive free admission with ID.
