It is with deep regret, that the board of Siouxland African Association (SAFAS) voted in January to CANCEL out flagship event, the 2026 Siouxland African Festival (SA-fest) for the well-being, and safety of our members, patrons, and the community as a whole. We are exploring other ways to continue to engage our community about Africa and it's Diaspora.
We want to take this opportunity to thank all our members, and volunteers who over the years put in tireless efforts to showcase the beautiful African continent, its cultures, and its people.
We also thank all our sponsors, to include businesses, churches, universities, colleges, foundations, hotels, individuals, and other community entities for your faithful support over the last decade which allowed us to make SA-fest FREE for all Siouxlanders to attend.
Please, feel free to reach out to us by e-mail with any questions!
