Baltimore is set to come alive with flavours, culture, and rhythm as the city prepares to host the Baltimore Afro-Food Festival 2026 (BAFF 2026), a major celebration of African and Diaspora cuisine.
The much-anticipated event, scheduled for Saturday, July 11, 2026, promises a vibrant fusion of food, music, and heritage, bringing together chefs, food vendors, cultural performers, and food lovers from across the African continent and the global Diaspora.
Organisers say BAFF 2026 is designed to showcase the richness and diversity of African culinary traditions, while also highlighting the deep cultural connections between Africa and its Diaspora communities. Attendees can expect a wide range of traditional and contemporary dishes, live music performances, cultural exhibitions, and family-friendly activities.
While full programme details and venue information are yet to be announced, the organisers have described the festival as a platform to celebrate identity, creativity, and unity through food and culture.
With the theme centred on “food, music, and heritage,” BAFF 2026 is expected to attract thousands of visitors, further positioning Baltimore as a hub for multicultural events and African-inspired festivals.
More information on ticket sales, vendor registration, and event partnerships will be released in the coming months.
