DanceAfrica 2026 Festival

DanceAfrica’s beloved bazaar returns, transforming the streets around BAM into a global marketplace with more than 150 vendors offering African, Caribbean, and African-American food, crafts, and fashion.

This Memorial Day weekend, the nation’s largest festival dedicated to African diasporic dance and music opens Brooklyn’s stages and streets to the rich culture and artistry of Uganda.

Now in its 49th year, this year’s festival honors the East African nation’s past, celebrates its present, and rejoices in its future.
