The award-winning Afro-Carib Fest (ACF) is a free annual two-day festival that welcomes thousands of diverse people nationally and internationally to celebrate culture and diversity through showcasing arts, music, dance, food, and the heritage of African and Caribbean people, and beyond. The festival began in 2012 with a goal of bridging social, cultural and economic gaps, promoting community and economic development, providing opportunities for new and emerging artists, local businesses and fostering networking opportunities among diverse groups.
ACF is now Ontario’s largest festival of African and Caribbean communities and has successfully brought together over 380,000 people and showcased over 900 artists. We have also partnered with over 750 local businesses, corporations, and community organizations that contribute to the economic vitality of Ontario.
