This past weekend was the 39th International African Arts Festival. This festival is held every year in the best borough, Brooklyn of course. It used to be held at Boys and Girls High School, but now it is held at the Commodore Barry Park near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The purpose of this festival is to celebrate the rich culture of Africa showcasing various African designers, artists, musicians, etc. There are tons of vendors selling everything from shea butter to socks and t-shirts. It is a great family event. You can enjoy great food, great music, and great people. Here are a few photos from vendors at the festival.
Printed and Tie-dye wrap dresses and rompers. My favorite is the pink and green ensemble in the bottom right corner.
Gorgeous earrings from various vendors. I love huge earrings and so my eyes automatically went to the orange pair.
