African Creators Festival returns for its 4th edition with a deeply immersive evening centered around this year’s theme: Belonging.
On June 20th, 2026, guests are invited into a one-night cultural journey featuring two distinct yet interconnected experiences — an intimate African culinary gathering followed by a live fundraising concert performance from internationally acclaimed Malian artist Vieux Farka Touré.
Curated by Let Me Show You Different, this special edition of ACF explores belonging through food, music, storytelling, memory, identity, and human connection. The evening asks an essential question: What does it mean to belong?
In a world increasingly shaped by movement, displacement, and cultural exchange.
The night begins with the ACF Culinary Experience, an intimate 50-seat dining experience bringing together chefs, artists, creatives, and community around the table., the evening invites guests to reflect on the ways meals carry culture, and connection across generations and borders through a thoughtfully curated African culinary experience presented by the evening’s featured chefs.
As the evening unfolds, guests transition into the second experience: a powerful live fundraising concert with legendary guitarist and musician Vieux Farka Touré, whose sound bridges tradition and innovation while carrying the spirit of West African musical heritage to global audiences.
Together, the evening creates a space for gathering, reflection celebration, and where belonging becomes something we create together.
One Night. Two Experiences.
