1. Africa in April

The Buzz -- Every year, this cultural awareness festival chooses one African country to explore in-depth, presenting its foods, music, arts, and more to the people of Memphis. Over four days, visitors learn about a variety of topics, including history, economics, and fashion. Musical performances, art exhibits, and food tastings are fun ways to get involved. A favorite spring event for over two decades, Africa in April takes place in Robert R. Church Park, a key site in local African-American history.
