The countdown is on! Afro Nation returns to Detroit in less than six months! This Aug. 17 and Aug. 18, come celebrate with us at Bedrock's Douglass Site. Already a locale of Black cultural significance, Afro Nation Detroit further amplifies and celebrates Detroit’s musical legacy with live performances from some of the world’s hottest Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B and Hip-Hop artists.
STATEMENT:
“Bringing Afro Nation back to Detroit, the home of Motown and House music was an easy decision," Co-Founder and CEO of Afro Nation, Smade said. "Detroit embodies culture, creativity, and pride. The energy here is electric, echoing the heartbeat of Afro Nation's spirit. In Detroit, we found a community that welcomed us with open arms, sharing our passion for unity and celebration, giving us a home away from home. Afro Nation Detroit 2024 will be even bigger than last year, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you."
