AFRIKANITY, Afro Calgary 2026: A festival at the heart of diversity, inclusion and living together

Organized by the Pont Cultural Bridge , AFRIKANITÉ: Afro Calgary is a Francophone and multicultural cultural festival that will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026 in Calgary , as part of Black History Month .

This flagship event aims to celebrate Afro-descendant cultures while strengthening intercultural dialogue, social cohesion, and civic engagement within the Calgary and Franco-Albertan communities. The festival brings together artists, community organizations, institutional leaders, families, and youth for cultural, educational, and festive activities: artistic performances, exhibitions, food, panels, official speeches, and networking opportunities.

AFRIKANITÉ also serves as a strategic platform for visibility and impact for partners and funders committed to multiculturalism, inclusion, the French language, and the fight against racism. By supporting this event, partners make a concrete contribution to:

• the promotion of Afro-descendant and Francophone communities;

• recognition of cultural and civic contributions in Calgary and Alberta;

• strengthening community cohesion and intercultural understanding;

• access to inclusive and representative cultural spaces.

The festival benefits from a strong community and institutional reach, with multi-channel visibility (website, social media, printed materials, official stage) and the presence of municipal and provincial representatives.

AFRIKANITY: Afro Calgary 2026 is more than an event: it is a collective commitment to an inclusive society, proud of its diversity and looking towards the future.
