Volunteers needed for Sounds of Africa Festival Aug. 15-16

The Washington West African Center is recruiting volunteers for the Sounds of Africa Festival, scheduled for August 15-16 at Garfield Park in Everett. This festival aims to celebrate diversity and promote cultural exchange by featuring traditional African food, music, and fashion. Attendees will interact with vendors offering a variety of goods and local businesses providing information. Volunteers will assist with setup, traffic control, and food distribution, among other roles. This annual event highlights the Center's vision of a vibrant and empowered West African community in Washington.

The festival not only provides entertainment but also facilitates meaningful business exchanges. Last year's festival showcased the rich cultural heritage of Africa, drawing significant community interest. More details on volunteer opportunities are available at www. wawac. org.
