African Festival To Feature 12 Countries “We are trying to represent as many countries as possible,” said Dorothy Dulo, Rafiki Africa director and program manager. “We have 12 countries at the Lancaster event and three in York.” The Rafiki Africa Foundation is committed to helping African children and families transform their communities through education, health care, and economic empowerment and sustainability. Although most of the work takes place in Kenya, the annual Rafiki African Cultural Festival celebrates the diversity of African countries locally. Lancaster’s 11th festival, with representation of 12 African countries, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 1 to 5 p.m. in Binns Park, 100 N. Queen St., Lancaster. The inaugural event in York County is set for Saturday, Aug. 31. The 11th annual Rafiki African Cultural Festival has been planned by community members under the
leadership of Rafiki Africa Foundation. Attendance will be open to the public free of charge. The festival will feature authentic cuisine from local African communities, vendors selling African crafts and merchandise, local nonprofits, activities for children, African dance and drum performances, African pop music, and a fashion show. A schedule of performances for the event will be posted on the Rafiki African Festival event page on Facebook.
