Afrika OYI Pavilion at the Heritage Festival - Site #27

Africa Oyi is sponsored by the Edmonton Multicultural Society (EMS), an umbrella cultural organization that caters to all cultures and promotes multiculturalism in Edmonton and around the globe.  For the Heritage Festival, it supports those countries that for one reason or another are unable to enter the Festival on their own, but are very much eager to display their culture and presence in Edmonton, the cultural capital of Canada. 

Africa Oyi will dazzle you and present an alternative insight into the beauty of several cultures (art, food, entertainment) not often seen in our day-to-day images of the Edmonton Mosaic.  This is a display of homeland and cultures in a Global village.  Come join your other silent families, showcasing the best Edmonton has to offer.  The unique name Afrika Oyi (togetherness) is determined by the majority of nations occupying the pavilion.  This is the fourth year many cultural groups from different countries will be working together again.  This time around you might learn just one more unbelievable thing in a series of amazing and unique cultures.  Come enjoy yourself to sumptuous dishes, splendour artifacts and moving entertainment all in the spirit of fun and great neighborhood.  You are welcome to dance and drum with us.
