Africa’s most thrilling and exciting music and entertainment event, FESTAC Africa, will take place at the Arusha International Conference Centre, Tanzania in the next few days. In less than two weeks, FESTAC Africa will be staged in Arusha, Tanzania’s northern tourist city with an array of arts, fashion, music, storytelling, poetry, film, short stories, travel, tourism, hospitality, food and dance through live performances from various countries in Africa and across the world.
FESTAC Africa 2023 will focus on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives to ensure African culture in the long term is sustained and preserved in an eco-friendly way. The festival is expected to bring cultural, hospitality and tourism experts to share insights on how Africa can offset its carbon footprint and also do a workshop to teach organizations how to report accurately on ESG.
Festival participants will have opportunities to experience the continent through travel and tourism and explore Arusha and Tanzania during the festival week. They will also have opportunities to visit some of Africa’s leading wildlife parks, including the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and the spice island of Zanzibar or hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.
Supported by the African Tourism Board (ATB), FESTAC 2023 will be taking places from May 21 to 27 May, showcasing Africa’s richest cultures, all aiming to attract local and foreign tourists to visit the continent. African heroes and heroines left their countries and went to exile in different countries in a quest to free Africa and her people from colonial rule, with the armed struggle as their weapon.
