The Lynnwood-based Washington West African Center is sponsoring the second annual Sounds of Africa Festival, which will take place from 1 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17, at Garfield Park in Everett. The free festival offers community members the opportunity to “immerse themselves in the rich and authentic culture and traditions of Africa, presented by Africans themselves,” the center’s website states.
The festival showcases the many facets of African culture and includes a fashion show of African clothing, a dance competition and performances by various artists. Vendors offer food, clothing, arts and crafts, and businesses and community partners provide information.

The Washington West African Center’s vision is a vibrant, strong, and socioeconomically healthy West African community in Washington. For more information, visit www.wawac.org.
Garfield Park is located at 2300 Walnut St., Everett.
