It’s here! Starting today, August 29th, through the 31st, Ankara Festival LA 2025 opens its doors, serving up three days of African fashion, music, and culture you won’t want to miss. Founded in 2010 by Peter Lentini, Founder and Creative Director. Their mission is to promote African cultural excellence by increasing visibility of African culture through fashion, arts, music, dance, and food.
