African Marketplace & Cultural Fair
Friday, August 17, 2007 14:03It isn’t the most well publicized event around town. I’ve been to it twice in the last few years. Some years, it sneaks by without me noticing it.
Anyway, if you have got some time on your hands and an interest for the cultural flavor of Los Angeles, be sure to check out the 22nd Annual African Marketplace and Cultural Fair.
Neat craft vendors, music, evening films and many food booths all highlight the African and American black cultures.

I haven’t been in a few years. The last time I went a lot of vendors were complaining about booth prices and the admission price kept going up. I truly believe they should take a note from the Little Tokyo festivals and the Koreatown festival and have admission be free.
