This multicultural, multiAfrican organization dedicated to bringing the various African cultures together in Philadelphia with African American and Caribbean cultures to promote better understanding, interaction, communication, education and collaboration.
City Councilwoman Jannie L Blackwell co-founded the organization along with the honorable Stanley Straughter, and throughout the year host a series of meetings and events to enhance and expand our knowledge of, and respect for each other.

Normally the annual event is held in the Philadelphia Zoo. This year Echoes of Africa is hosting the celebration in Marcus Garvey Park in order to promote greater interaction with the surrounding African American community.
Music, food, fun, family, fashion, friends - our culture on display - will be the focus of this wonderful event.
